Escaping to British Columbia

I was lucky enough to get a crew (my roommate Katie, her friend Liz, and Liz's random friend she met last week) and head up north for the labor day weekend, just north of Vancouver. Despite some anxiety from the group during the week about what we were really getting ourselved into, we did come back alive!

It took us about 7 hours at least to get there, due to 2 hours waiting to cross the border, and at least an hour more getting lost in Vancouver. But we finally made it and then soaked in the wilderness for two days.

We hiked the Stawamus Chief. It was beautiful all the way up, and as you can see, the view from the top was breathtaking. I'll just stop typing and let the pictures speak for themselves.

it is definitely the norm for a labor day weekend afternoon...yea i think it usually isn't that bad. But it was worth it. You come out here and we'll head up that way to Whistler, it was only 20 miles north of where we were.
