We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am
Last week we had a very fine day for our hike — clear blue sky, cool and calm. We headed up onto the high ground and were pleased to find very little snow on the ground even at the start of the Hydro East road. Parking not far along from the juction at Bell Farm we headed east swinging north towards Black Mountain then up the steep trail to the summit. Eating lunch in open areas high up on the south side we looked in vain for any sign of Mt. Baker in Washington State. While the view to the east, as you can see from my photo, was clear for a great distance, to the south there must have been some smog over the Lower Mainland.
My photo shows the entrance to Jarvis Inlet with low Hardy Island in the centre and the snow topped Coast Mountains in the far distance. Just a steep hillside on the right is the only part of Nelson Island visible in this view.
