BCYK: Vancouver & Squamish

I found myself back in Vancouver ten months after my previous trip (and a month before my next). We were here for a few days before heading up to Yukon, and I was excited to be back on the west coast less than a year after my last visit.




Squamish is undeniably beautiful but terribly touristy. I was looking forward to doing the Chief (link to the future!) this time, but unfortunately my hiking companions were not up for it.

A weekend in cottage country

Usually at the end of September, the autumn leaves are out in full force and people flock to Algonquin to see them in their glory. On the second-last weekend of September, we headed north for the weekend, where the promise of 90-100% colour change was promised; only to find mostly green.

It was still a lovely weekend! The cottage was facing the lake and there were canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats available, and many BBQs to be had.
