The Lynn headwaters park is just down the road for us. Last sunday we already hiked up to Norvan Falls. A 15 km. hike with little elevation gain. The area is totally forested. The main trees are red cedars and douglas firs. Especially the cedars grow very tall, 30 meters.

All the important paperwork is done. That means Robin is gettig his regular naps again. Which again improves his mood.

To get in shape for some more hikes, we went to Lynn peak yesterday. This hike is quit teh opposite of teh hike we did to Norvan Falls. The hike up Lynn peak is relatively short but very steep. We gained 700 m in 3 km. Bas had Robin in the backpack. And these days carrying Robin means a load of 15 kg. Pfff.. We lost some swaet on that peak, but it was worth it. The view from Lynn peak is excellent.

Today, saturday, we did a very short hike, still in Lynn valley. This time we went to the Lynn canyon suspension bridge and twin falls. At the beginning there is a small but very nice ecology centre. This is a popular place for tourists aswell. The hike itself was about 2 km.

Tomorrow we will drive to Chiliwack (1.5h east of Vancouver) and will hike up to Mount Cheam. A beatifull alpine environment.. Mt Cheam is just over 2100m high.. The views should be amazing..
It will be busy since people have a long weekend (Monday is BC day)..

We still have to plan the rest of week, when do we start driving up north, it depends on several other things.. We'll see...
