Mount Seymour near Vancouver

Datum:
26.10.2019
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
6:45h
Entfernung:
10,3km

The weather seemed to promise a nice day and plans were already made in advance! :-) To get started, we had rented a car that would bring us all the way up a little over 1000mosl at the parking lot at the Mount Seymour ski resort, clearly limiting the overall height to climb on this hike! Instead of following the main trail to Mount Seymour from the parking lot, we had planned to visit Mystery Lake, first. While heading for the trail head of the Mystery Lake Hike , rounding Loch Lomond right north of the parking lot, we suddenly became unsure and started to think that we had made our turn to early (while in fact we were 100% right!). Since we did not see any trail markers right where we were, we turned around and went back and then up the main gravel road west of the ski lift in order to find the trail head >>>

Grouse Grind near Vancouver

Datum:
24.10.2019
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
4,5km

Being in Vancouver, Canada, one certainly feels invited to do at least one hike and a good start is to do the Grouse Grind Trail, which leads steeply upwards from the parking lot at the lower station of the cable car "Grouse Mountain Skyride", not far from Capilano Lake. The Grouse Grind web page mentions that you make approximately 850 height-meters (in less than 3 kilometers of length) and that this is done over more than 2800 stairs! Clearly, if you push than this ascent is a good exercise (and many do that, according to the web page). The trail is well marked and in a regular spacing, the hiker/runner is informed about the progress managed so far. Once at the upper end of the Ground Grind Trail, one reaches the upper station of the cable car. Since it is not allowed to go the Grouse Grind Trail >>>
