Hollyburn Peak

We recently went on a hike in Cypress Provincial Park on the north shore. This is Hollyburn peak, a modest mountain some 1300m or so adjacent to the cross country ski areas of the park. We figured with the warm weather we'd had that the snow-pack would have melted somewhat, but no, it was still there in full force.
It made the going more difficult on the way up, which was a drag, but on the way down we could slide most of the way, which was good for some laughs.

The summit. Huzzah and all that jazz. We shouldn't be so blazé about this, but there were tonnes of jerks (i.e. Vancouverites) up there and we were followed by hordes of blackflies that wouldn't let up for even a second. So we snapped a couple of shots and took off almost immediately.

I doubt we'll do this again in the summer, but it seems a good destination for snow-shoeing, so maybe in the winter.
