Black Mountain: Winter Trail

February 24, 2020 by Josie Leave a Comment

Black Mountain on Cypress Mountain is a great snowshoeing hike in Vancouver. It is a well-marked, easily accessible trail with great views. Before I get to the photos from this beautiful hike, I would like to preface this blog by highly recommend taking an Avalanche Skills Training course. Although the trail is described as “simple terrain”, AST will teach you invaluable skills that could save your life. I learned how to read avalanche reports, properly use avalanche equipment (beacon, probe and shovel) and recognize potential avalanche risks.

In preparing for even a simple hike like Black Mountain, I made sure to check avalanche.ca for the forecast and snow conditions, as well as the Winter Trail Report for Cypress Provincial Park. And of course, don’t forget your trail map.

We did this hike on a beautiful sunny Friday. The conditions were perfect and we even got a parking spot in the main lot – I love having Fridays off to avoid weekend crowds! We grabbed our free Backcountry Access Pass at the Black Mountain Lodge on our way to the trailhead by the main downhill ski area. The trail was quite packed down so we didn’t even need our snowshoes that we lugged up the switchbacks, as our microspikes did the trick. Once we got to the loop, we had an enjoyable stroll through winter wonderland, and Rey LOVED rolling around in the snow.

Please note to check the trail reports if you’re planning on hiking to Eagle Bluffs. Currently (as of February of 2020), the trail to Eagle Bluffs is not recommended by BC Parks.

Once we reached the Black Mountain plateau, we stopped to enjoy the amazing views and take a few photos. The entire hike took us about 2.5 hours, even with spending some time to enjoy the views at the top.

Post Climate Strike: How I Will Reduce My Ecological Footprint

October 15, 2019 by Josie Leave a Comment

It’s been a few weeks since the Global Climate Strike on September 27, 2019. Although it is a cause that I strongly believe in, I was debating whether or not to join the march in Vancouver as I’m not a fan of large crowds. I decided to go last minute, and I’m very glad that I went. I biked down to City Hall with my camera in hand, delegating myself a duty to help capture moments at the Climate Strike.

It was very inspiring to see so many people caring about the state of our environment. There were some pretty great signs. One of my favourites read “So bad even the introverts are here!”

However, I wondered how many people will take additional steps to do their part for Mother Earth, or if partaking in a protest the extent to some people’s environmental activism. So, I challenge you to think about a few ways, no matter how small, that you will contribute to help reduce your ecological footprint.

Here are some of my personal goals:

1. Become a “Conscious Carnivore”.

I’ve always been a meat-eater, and I probably always will be. My meat-eating diet greatly contradicts my beliefs as an animal-lover and someone who is environmentally conscious. However, there are ways to become more conscious of my meat consumption without becoming a vegetarian.

My goal is to eat less meat. I’ll start with two vegetarian meals a week, replacing my protein with chickpeas, quinoa and free-range eggs. Secondly, when I do buy meat, I want to buy ethically. If anyone has a good source of a butcher that serves local, quality products (and the animals lived a happy life) in Vancouver, please let me know!

2. Buy less stuff!

I used to think that donating my old clothing and other items justifies buying new things. However, I never thought about all the clothing that doesn’t get bought in a thrift store. This episode of CBC Marketplace really brought to my attention the issue of clothing waste and just waste in general.

The last couple of years, I’ve made an effort to buy things second-hand. Additionally, I often use the trading app Bunz. It’s a great way to make sure my old items are getting a second, or third, or even fourth life – plus sometimes you can get a pretty good deal as well!

My goal this year: I aim buy no more than 3 new clothing items, and only buy other items if I absolutely need it.

3. Sign up for David Suzuki Foundation’s Queen of Green newsletter.

This one’s an easy one. This monthly digest will provide recipes, how-tos and tips to living “zero-waste”. I’m excited to receive my first newsletter!

These are pretty small contributions, but I hope this inspires you to think about ways that you can reduce your ecological footprint. I’d love to hear your goals on being more green. Please share below!

Brew Lake: Whistler’s Hidden Gem

September 14, 2019 by Josie 2 Comments

Brew Lake is a hidden gem situated just south of Whistler. Unlike other popular hikes in Whistler, Brew Lake is much less-travelled AND it is dog-friendly! The scenic subalpine surroundings of the lake make it an ideal location to pitch a tent for a night or two. Alternatively, you can hike further up towards Mount Brew to stay in a hut!

As perfect as this spot is to camp, the hike up to Brew Lake is quite the gruelling trail. Its difficulty is probably what keeps the trail relatively lightly trafficked. I would only recommend it to very experienced hikers. I found it even more physically and mentally demanding than Eaton Lake, “the trail from hell”. I’d also recommend avoiding hiking Brew Lake Trail when it rains, as it would make a couple of the steep sections quite slippery and sketchy.

The folks at Whistler Hiatus has provided some great information on the Brew Lake Trail and how to find it. However, the bridge along the forest service road is now out of commission and the roads are of worse wear. High clearance 4x4s can park at the bridge, but other vehicles should park 2.5-3km before the bridge. This is where we parked our Subaru Forester. There is only space for 3-4 vehicles at each one of these spots. One group we met who had a low clearance 2WD even have to park at the beginning of the forest service road and walked up the additional 5.5 km to the trail head.

Finding the trailhead was the next challenge. Again, follow the map provided by Whistler Hiatus. There is an unmarked trail just before turning onto the “undrivable old logging road”. If you accidentally start walking down that trail like we did, you’ll quickly realize there are no markers and turn back. Keep on walking up the FSR and you’ll eventually see a trail marked by blue and pink marking tape. This is the trailhead for the Brew Trail.

The trail is very well marked all the way to the lake. Follow the yellow reflective tree markers, orange tape and rock cairns (the blue/pink tape eventually departs from the main trail). The first part of the trail is a relatively easy hike through the forest. Eventually you’ll reach an opening to a boulder field. You may look up and wonder if you’ll have to climb up and over this enormous boulder field – the answer is yes. This is where the hike becomes very difficult and gruelling. As soon as you climb up to where you think is a peak, you’ll realize it was just a ridge obscuring the view another climb ahead of you. This repeats a few times, which can lead to a rollercoaster ride of emotions. There were also some VERY steep sections, which require grabbing on to rocks and plants to pull yourself up.

After a tough grind up, you’ll eventually and suddenly reach Brew Lake! Once you get here, it makes the trail up worth every single gruelling step. There were only a handful of other groups camping, and we were spoiled for choice of where to camp around the large lake. With our overnight packs, it took us four hours from the trail head (or 4.5 hours from where we parked). We thought about hiking up further to the hut, but we were eager to start cooking dinner and enjoy being at our destination.

Brew Lake would be a great destination to bring a group of friends for a three-day adventure. After setting up camp for the first night, the second day would be ideal for exploring the trail up to the Brew Hut and the surrounding area, as well as just relaxing by the beautiful lake.

On the way down the next day, Rey ran circles around us. Having four legs is apparently pretty handy (no pun intended)!

BC Roadtrip: Okanagan and Kootenays – Part 1

August 17, 2019 by Josie 2 Comments

This summer we ventured out of the Lower Mainland to seek a true escape from city-life. Our goal was to explore more of what our beautiful province of British Columbia has to offer, and perhaps find our next place to call home. We packed our bags, created our roadtrip playlists, downloaded our favourite podcasts and hit the road.

Kelowna and Myra Canyon Ranch

A short five-hour drive from Vancouver, we rolled into Kelowna just in time for a stroll along the beach of Okanagan Lake followed by dinner at Vice & Virtue Brewing. We then headed to Myra Canyon Ranch where we had booked a stay in one of their rustic A-frame cabins. We were greeted by one of our lovely hosts, Kathrin, with good and bad news. I asked for the bad news first, and the A-frame unfortunately had been double-booked. However, Kathrin had graciously upgraded us to one of their main suites, and was it ever luxurious! As much as I love A-frames, I had no complaints.

In the morning, we cooked up a hardy breakfast courtesy of the ranch’s farm-fresh egg, enjoyed tea on the balcony overlooking the city and said hello to some of the friendly farm animals. We loved the atmosphere at the ranch and thought how that it would be a dream to live and run the ranch! I wish we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy some of the many activities, such as taking horseback riding lessons. Instead, we packed our bags and headed to Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park.

Canyon, Kettle Valley Railway

One of my my favourite activities of the roadtrip was biking the Myra Canyon section of the Kettle Valley Trail. The 12 km route follows the old railway bed, crossing 18 different trestles and overlooking spectacular views of the canyon. The Kettle Valley Railway was originally built between 1912 and 1914 to link Southern BC to the coast. The train tracks were eventually removed in 1980, seven years after the last train travelled the tracks. The Okanagan Mountain fire in 2003 destroyed most the trestles, but the trail has since been fully restored to welcome hikers and bikers.

We started at the Ruth entrance of the trail as it is closer to Myra ranch and we had our own bikes. However, the Myra entrance is much more popular and has bikes for rent. This trail is relatively flat and is great for families and beginner riders. It can also be walked.

Lake Country to Vernon

After our bike ride, we enjoyed a scenic drive through Lake Country to our next destination. This area was new territory for me and I was surprised by how beautiful it is! Surrounded by beautiful lakes and rolling hills, there is access to many outdoor activities. Our second night was spent at Ellison Provincial Park, a popular campground with beach access to Okanagan Lake just south of Vernon.

The following day, we backtracked south into Lake Country to visit the municipality of Oyama, situatuated on an isthmus between Wood Lake and Kalamalka Lake. When we drove past the day before, we were fascinated by the geography of Oyama, which almost seemed man-made from our viewpoint up on the highway. We grabbed lunch at OKF Grill, where we had the most delicious burger of the entire trip.

After lunch, we brought out our bikes and circumnavigated Wood Lake, the smaller of the two lakes. The west side of the lake had many great areas to stop and enjoy the views. The east side of the lake, also part of the Okanagan Rail Trail, had fewer public lake access points as it was mostly through private property. I would’ve loved to explore Kalamalka Lake as well, but alas we once again had to hit the road.

Our next stop was BX Press Cidery in Vernon. While I’m not a huge fan of wine, I thought it appropriate to at least visit an orchard while in wine country. We enjoyed a cider-tasting in the beautiful family-owned orchard. They also host daily tours, live concerts and other special events throughout the summer. Just imagine enjoying live music in the orchard on a warm summer evening!

The last stop of the day was to the Historic O’Keefe Ranch. Originally a 12,000 acre cattle-ranch founded by Cornelius O’Keefe and his business partners in 1867, the main ranch site became a historical site 100 years after its founding. Today, they offer guided tours of the O’Keefe Mansion and self-guided exploring of the surrounding buildings, such as the general store and blacksmith shop. There are even Cowboy Dinner Theatre shows throughout the summer! Wishing that we had more time in each area we visited was becoming a common theme.

Christmas Getaway: Qualicum Beach

December 30, 2018 by Josie Leave a Comment

This Christmas holidays we wanted to explore parts of BC we have yet to see, which is why we decided to visit Qualicum Beach. We wanted to explore towns north of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island and Horne Lake Caves has been left unchecked on our To-Do list for far too long. We found a quaint little A-frame cabin on AirBnB called Stone’s Throw Cottage.

With our luck, our schedule coincided with Mother Nature’s plans as a wind storm was hitting Vancouver and Vancouver Island. We left early Friday morning as we knew many ferries were cancelled the day before due to the strong winds. Luckily, it wasn’t windy on our day of travel – but we found out much of Qualicum and Parksville area was without power and running water! We decided to go ahead with our trip anyways as we thought it would add to the rustic feel of the cabin – and it would be such a shame to cancel because of this first-world problem.

Our hosts were very lovely. They made sure that we were as comfortable as we could be despite not having power. They brought us extra blankets, a rug for the kitchen, rain water to flush the toilet and many, many flashlights. We hunkered down for the night, cooking dinner on the barbeque and huddling together in the upstairs bedroom playing games. Turns out that four people and a dog can generate quite a bit of warmth in a little A-frame bedroom!

As much as we enjoyed the rustic experience, the power was thankfully restored on the second day! Having the lights on allowed me to take a few photos of the delightful cabin and for us to appreciate all the small details of the A-frame that we otherwise wouldn’t have. Our hosts put some really nice touches to the cottage including all the Christmas decorations to make it feel really homely and festive.

Unfortunately due to the storm, Horne Lake Caves was closed for the entirety of our stay. Although we didn’t get our caving experience, it did give us an opportunity explore more of Qualicum beach and the surrounding areas. Here are some of the places we visited:

Love Shack Libations, Qualicum – a super chill nano-brewery. We chatted with the owner and he definitely brings a personal touch to all his beer. I’d highly recommend visiting if you’re ever in the area and checking out their story.
The Farmhouse Restaurant, Parksville – a cozy diner with a delicious brunch menu. Their staff were all very friendly and welcoming, giving us a place of refuge when we were without power.
Morning Star Farm, French Creek (between Parksville and Qualicum) – Little Qualicum Cheeseworks & Mooberry Winery. You can buy fancy cheese, fresh milk and fine fruit wines, as well as check out all the animals on the farm!

We were too cold and wet to check out the hikes around Qualicum Beach, but I guess we’ll have to return to the area next time!

If you have other suggestions on places to see, things to do or quaint cabins to stay in near Qualicum Beach, please comment below.

Crescent Beach Trail: A Secluded Beach Hike on the Oregon Coast

June 6, 2018 by Josie Leave a Comment

I thought there was no place more scenic than Canada’s west coast. However after my visit to Oregon’s coast, I realized I might be wrong! My friends and I drove to America’s upper-left corner to camp at Nehalem Bay this past Victoria Day long weekend. Although the weather was still typical of the Pacific North-West, Oregon beaches hands-down beat BC beaches. The best part of our short road-trip was fitting a hike to Crescent Beach at Ecola State Park.

Just a short ten minute drive north of Cannon Beach is a much more quiet and secluded Crescent Beach. We drove up into Ecola State Park, winding our way through the forest. For those who are not capable of hiking down to Crescent Beach, the parking lot views were already pretty amazing in itself. There were many picnic tables for tourists to have lunch. My friends and I decided to hike down to the beach to enjoy our food.

Starting from a clearly marked trailhead by the bathrooms, we started on the Crescent Beach Trail. The trail itself isn’t too difficult, but apparently gets pretty muddy in the rainier seasons. Just under 6km there and back and 150m in elevation gain, the hike would probably take around an hour and a half to complete round-trip, but we spent about 3 hours on this adventure as we took our time exploring the beach.

The Crescent Beach Trail starts by meandering through a lush rainforest, with peaks of the gorgeous beach views teasing us of what’s soon to come. Apparently elk and deer often wander through this neck of the woods, but unfortunately we didn’t see any! We wandered through many switchbacks (without much elevation gain or loss) until we saw a sign that pointed us down to Crescent Beach. A junction in the trail also leads to Cannon Beach, which would make for another great hike for another time. From the junction, the switchbacks leading down to Crescent Beach got pretty steep so I definitely recommend having shoes with good tread, unlike Nick who struggled sliding all the way down in his lesbian sandals.

Once we climbed down to the beach, we were greeted by wide-open gorgeous ocean views. There was a miniature waterfall, some really cool cliff faces and even some caves which we unfortunately couldn’t explore as the tide was quickly coming in. We explored the vast beach and the best part was that there were maybe two or three other groups of people there the whole time! Apparently Crescent Beach is never crowded even on summer weekends. If this place existed in Vancouver, it would be absolutely packed. I guess when Cannon Beach is just down the road and is so much more accessible, most people would hang out there instead.

This trip made me yearn to move to a quaint coastal town and live life as a surf bum. Not only are the beaches so much more beautiful and the lifestyle so much more calm than Vancouver, these Oregon towns are so dog friendly! I regret leaving Rey at home. She would’ve absolutely loved running around in the wide open spaces of Crescent Beach.

Hike Details:

< 6km round-trip
Approx. 150m
1-3 hours
Muddy with many tree roots
Suitable for families and relatively fit seniors (hiking poles recommended)
Parking: $5 in Ecola State Park

Stawamus Chief: Hiking the Peaks Less-Travelled

May 18, 2018 by Josie Leave a Comment

It’s finally starting to feel like summer in Vancouver! We kicked off our hiking season with a hike to the iconic Stawamus Chief in Squamish. The Chief is definitely not a hidden gem, as many of my non-outdoorsy friends have even hiked the first peak. However, there are two more easily-accessible peaks that are much less travelled. Our plan was to hike from Shannon Falls* to the main Chief Peaks Trail, then veering off to the third peak followed by the second peak and looping back to the main trail. If you do this hike, make sure you keep a map handy with you.

I was hoping to avoid the crowds by hiking on a weekday, but even then the main trail was packed. However, Rey didn’t seem to mind as she was getting all the love from passer-byes because she looked so adorable in her new bandana!

Once we reached the junction to the trail that leads to the third peak, we were met with tranquility. Maybe there is a reason there weren’t many people taking this route because it was pretty steep! The beginning of the turn off lulled you into false security while the second half required using hands to help pull yourself up steep steps and rocks. Luckily for us, this was no Eaton Lake.

After hiking for a couple of hours while thinking to ourselves why we didn’t do more squats over the winter, we finally reached the smooth rock surface of the third peak. And boy, were the views ever worth it. We found a nice quiet spot overlooking the first two peaks and Howe Sound in the distance to enjoy a small snack and photoshoot.

We then packed up to head to the second peak. The views here were just as amazing! I can’t decide which peak had the better views. While the third peak offered an added sense of isolation being surrounded by magnificent mountain ranges, the second peak had an unreal bird’s eye view of the city of Squamish.

It was time to head down and we were planning on completing the loop to meet back up with the main trail. However, we were met with a bit of a hiccup in our plan and our long-awaited dinner would have to wait. Welcoming us back to the main trail from the smooth rocks of the second peak was a very steep section that required us to climb down a ladder. Easy for us to climb down the ladder, but not so much for Rey. We tried to put her into our backpack but alas she was too big. As Rey was looking pretty tired already, we didn’t want to risk her hurting herself by finding her way down the steep rock into the narrow landing area.

We ended up deciding to loop all the way back, back-tracking the way we came. As we were climbing up to the third peak, I had even said how glad I was that we would not need to descend back this way, not realizing I was foreshadowing our misfortune at the time. Wishing I had brought my trekking poles with me, we eventually made our way back down to the parking lot. Despite how much my knees were sore, this is a hike I would do time and time again.

*Note: It looks like the Lower Shannon Falls trail was re-routed. Instead of merging part way up the Chief Peaks Trail, Lower Shannon Falls now goes to the parking lot of the Sea to Sky Gondola, and pretty much hugs the parking lot until you get to the base of the Chief Peaks Trail. We saw an old sign part way up the Chief Peaks Trail telling us to turn at a certain point to get back on the Lower Shannon Falls trail, but looks like the route was washed out or taken down as we couldn’t cross the creek.

Porteau Cove Winter Camping

February 25, 2018 by Josie 2 Comments

Overlooking the Howe Sound between Vancouver and Squamish, Porteau Cove is no secret for a frontcountry camping getaway. Less than an hour from the city, the provincial campground has amazing waterfront views. Myself being a spontaneous camper and Porteau Cove being one of the most popular campgrounds near Vancouver, I’ve never managed to get a reservation in the summer. Enter, winter camping!

As much as I complain about Vancouver weather, a mild winter allows for four seasons of camping. I kept an eye on the weather forecast and after one of the rainiest Januarys in Vancouver history, we finally got a break in the weather!

When we arrived, we were a little surprised how many people also had the idea to brave the cold at Porteau Cove. However, being Family Day long weekend also probably made for a busier campground. Plus there were quite a few RVs and trailers. We decided to opt out of the idealistic waterfront campground for a warmer, more practical site further inland. (I’ve learned from my mistake setting up camp on the little peninsula during a windy, wet and miserable Joffre Lakes trip.)

It was still a very brisk night. I’m just glad I ended up buying two bundles of firewood at the gas station! We got our fire going and had some delicious smokies for dinner, followed by a campfire charcuterie of cheese, deer sausage and whiskey.

Taking advantage of the clear sky, we went on a late night walk and took some photos of the night sky. It has been far too long since sleeping under a field of stars! We then retreated into the shelter of the Subaru (named Raphael after the Ninja Turtle, of course). Rey seemed to appreciate the extra blankets. We’re not gonna lie, it was still pretty damn cold sleeping in the car!

Porteau Cove was such a great weekend winter getaway. There’s nothing like unwinding from the city life with a night under the stars by a campfire. I’ll have to convince some of my friends to brave the cold for our next winter camping trip!

Hiking Quarry Rock: The Best Way to Spend Super Bowl Sunday

February 8, 2018 by Josie Leave a Comment

There are many great hikes in Vancouver, but the best ones are often pretty crowded. We often find ourselves taking advantage of days where most people stay home to hike those otherwise busy trails. This Super Bowl Sunday, we decided to hike Quarry Rock in Deep Cove.

We haven’t hiked Quarry Rock since we first got our dog Rey in spring of 2016. In fact, that was Rey’s very first hike. There were so many people that day and Rey wanted to stop and say hi with EVERY SINGLE DOG. This time, there were much fewer people especially for a sunny weekend. We also didn’t realize that the trail was actually an off-leash trail! It was great to let Rey run around freely. It’s always so cute when she runs off ahead and then stops, turning around waiting for us to catch up.

We got to the look out over Indian Arm just in time for sun set. The sun was just peaking through the clouds and mist, making the views absolutely gorgeous. It was so nice to get a bit of break from all the rain we’ve been having lately. After taking in the amazing views, we hiked back down and went home just in time to watch the last five minutes of the fourth quarter.

Snowshoeing Bowen Lookout on Cypress

December 26, 2017 by Josie 4 Comments

Bowen Lookout Trail is a short hike on Cypress Mountain that is great for snowshoeing come winter. It’s a free trail perfect for any beginners or experienced snowshoers who want a quick adventure. We did Bowen Lookout in the beginning of December just as the local ski hills opened, guaranteeing enough snow. The trailhead is past the Cypress Creek Lodge in the downhill ski area of Cypress Mountain. Make sure to grab your free Backcountry Access Corridor (BAC) pass at the Black Mountain Lodge in the parking low first!

The Bowen Lookout trail was probably doable with only micro-spikes (we saw some people slipping and sliding down only wearing runners), but we always like to venture onto the snowbanks beside the main trail. It’s always more fun that way, especially for Rey! The trail started in the forest before reaching a meadow-like opening. Then it was onto switchbacks until we got to the lookout, and those Howe Sound views never get old. When we arrived there was only one other group at the lookout. We quickly took our Christmas card photo and one of Rey by the iconic naked trees before the crowds arrived. Then we sat back and ate snacks while enjoying the view before heading back down.

One thing to note, the summer trail to Bowen Lookout cuts through the Yew Lake Interpretive Trail, which does not allow dogs. However, from my research the Bowen Lookout winter trail is dog-friendly.

Bowen Lookout Trail would make a great family outing during the holiday season. Don’t forget your Cypress Provincial Winter Map and proper hiking gear! Merry Christmas, everyone!
