Well after our epic long weekend hiking fail, we’re planning an overnight hike tomorrow with 2 or 3 of BF’s friends. It’s about a 3.5 hour drive from Vancouver, then onto some logging roads. We’ll hike in and camp by a gorgeous looking lake (none of us have ever been into that area before), and then summiting at least 1 mountain. There are a couple of others that we might do if we have enough energy.
The area looks great – lots of alpine hiking. I really dislike bush whacking or hiking in the forest for too long. There’s just something about the openness of the alpine that is really refreshing. There’s also some fantastic scrambling too and maybe we’ll bring our rock climbing gear to play around with.
We still have our dehydrated meals from our previous trip, so all we’ll need to get is a few snacks – oranges, trail mix, etc. and we should be good to go! Plus the cost of gas, of course. And our traditional Tim Horton’s breakfast before the trip.
I’ve never done an overnight backpacking trip with any of BF’s friends before. We’ve done day trips, but that’s it. It should be interesting!

I'm off to the island, yah me! I think Tim Hortons is the traditional breaky for all Canadians going on any sort of trip….

Have fun, it's going to be such a gorgeous weekend! :) I can't wait to go back to the island in a couple of weeks.
