Vancouver rocks! (Not the one in Washington, that's just adequate)

We just got back from a quick weekend trip to Vancouver.  We stayed in a quaint apartment in the city... what a view!

 About 2,000 members from the local and Portland hiking clubs climbed Strachan Mountain just north of Vancouver.  Beautiful hike!

View from 1/2 way up... little did we know what pain awaits us.

Someone from Hong Kong would feel crowded on this hike.

The snow field from Hades.  Looking down.  Then looking up.  My legs still can't look at these pictures.

The peak was conquered!  What a great reward.

King of the mountain!  The Lions are in the background.
