Sarah and I had last Monday off, so we went on our first official hike of the summer. We got out of the house relatively early and started hiking around 10:30. The total distance is only about 12km so we decided to take our time and enjoy the sights, stopping here and there to take pictures or to relax.
The hike starts off pretty steeply: within a few minutes we arrived at a cliff with a flimsy rope. We thought this would be the end on account of Maggie, but I managed to lift her up and over with little difficulty. The walk continued steadily upward for a while, frequently coming in sight of the creek and the Squamish Valley below. Eventually we got to an old rockslide that led up to a logging road that we followed back down to the valley and our starting point. We were out on the trail for 5 or 6 hours, had an awesome picnic and plenty of time to relax. Another nice day off in BC.
Maggie is still adjusting to her pack, so she gets stuck in some places.
Climbing up!
Another great view

And we saw two black bears on the way home. We missed the other, which is too bad, because it was brown, which is pretty rare.
