Three Chop Trail Loop

Three Chop Trail Loop

Is it raining today in Vancouver? Do you want to get outside and walk anyway? Well, the Three Chop trail below Mount Seymour is a great option for a soggy hike.

All my snowy photos are…

Goat Ridge (via Goat Mountain) – Peak Bagging

One of my favourite hikes near Vancouver is the lovely trail to Goat Mountain from the top of the Gondola on Grouse Mountain. However, it is possible to go beyond, to a teeny summit on Goat Ridge. This route curls behind the front layer of North Shore Mountains, so it feels like you’ve made it deep into the wilderness. What’s more, hardly anyone goes beyond the main summit for Goat Mountain so you might get some fabulous scenery to yourself….
