Me and the Mountain Man

Danny (hereafter the mountain man for obvious reasons) and I today climbed to the top of Mt Straughn behind the city. We have been blessed with the best weather since our arrival this past week - amazing stuff. Today we hired snow shoes and poles and set off from the Cyprus car park. Two hours up the mountain for lunch aopt the peak with true panoramic views - to Bowen Island in the west to Mt Baker in Washington state in the south and Vancouver city to the east - just magical. I'm afraid I now need to make room in my all time top 10 day trips. It was that good - god if I could do this every day I'd never come home! This was glorious - for my man Danny S - one of nature's gentlemen!
