I'll be home for Christmas

Hello everyone,

There's been no posts for a while so I thought I would put up some pictures of when I was hiking this past weekend. There's no snow in Vancouver but when you go up, there's lots. We went hiking up to Brew Hut and stayed overnight.

Here we are on one of our many lunch stops on the way up to the hut.



Here is Brew Hut, set up in a really windy spot so that snow doesn't accumulate because previous huts were always destroyed or moved by the huge amounts of snow. I like how the top floor window has a handle on it so you can dig down to the hut when its buried and go through the upstairs.

Here's a beautiful shot at sunset looking back towards Black tusk (the tooth like thing). Its a really popular hiking destination and I think the very first post on this blog was back before I hurt my knee and had hiked (with some of the same people) to Black Tusk and had climbed it. Its a straightforward hike, just some scrambling at the end but it looks very dramatic doesn't it. If you're skiing at Whistler you see the tusk edge on.
