Bunzten Lake - trek from hellllll .............

So, its the long weekend ... you'd think we'd get to relax for the weekend, right? ... nope, not with my hustband being home! We're off to hike Mount Everest (may as well of been)! Okay, okay ... wasn't even close to Everest ... it was the Buntzen Lake Diez Vista trail. First of all is was bout 400 degrees outside, second of all, this hike is essentially equivalent to the never ending Grouse Grind except there's no luxury of any tram taking you down the other side of the mountain. Once you get past the brutal switch-backs having hiked a grueling 560 meters, there are 10 amazing viewpoints. The highest peak offers a sightline of Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Deep Cove, the North Shore Mountains and up Indian Arm. Now for the good part ... the views were breathtaking as you can see from the pictures.


Here we gooooooooo!!!!!

Nothing beat the dip in the lake when
we made it down the mountain!

Oh Moby ... one tired pup!!!
