Hiking the Stawamus Chief

 
 
Last weekend I joined my friend Marina and her brother for a day hike up in Squamish. We decided to hike to the first peak of the Stawamus Chief and back, which was approximately 5 km. The trail for the Stawamus Chief begins not far from Shannon Falls, a location I had previously visited with my dad.
 
Both Marina and I brought our cameras to document the experience. Marina has a blog of her previous research experiences, which she plans on updating now that she’s here in British Columbia. She was kind enough to let me feature some of her photographs in this blog post, which is so kind of her since some of these pictures are breathtaking.
 
The journey to the first peak was entirely uphill. The trail had us climbing stairs, boulders, ladders, and even the exposed rock of the mountain. There were people of all ages, sizes and abilities hiking up the mountain, and I’d encourage anyone to give it a try. It was exciting and refreshing to tackle the challenge, and I’d like to hike the more challenging trails to the second or third peak in the future. 
 
Without further ado, here are some photographs on the experience.

    needed to ask. Does running a well-established website such as yours require a lot
    of work? I am brand new to operating a blog however

    And i am glad reading your article. However should commentary on few basic things, The website style is wonderful, the articles is in point of fact excellent :
    D. Excellent activity, cheers

  9. I believe everything typed made a ton of sense.
    However, consider this, what if you composed a catchier post title?
    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website,
    however suppose you added something that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean Hiking the Stawamus Chief – Nature is Love is a little boring.
    You should glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news
    headlines to grab people interested. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it might bring your blog a little livelier.
