Sea to Sky - British Columbia

Crazy to think that we lived our dream....We lived in Squamish, which resides at the foot of Mt. Garibaldi and is in the middle of the Coast Mountain Range. Squamish is about 40 minutes South of Whistler and an hours drive North of Vancouver. I commuted into the city every day for work, and retreated to the mountains every night. We spent much of our free time enjoying the outdoor recreation capital of Canada (or watching movies if it's rainy) while we lived there. Squamish was great to us during the 3 years we lived there, but in Jan 08, we decided on a new adventure and moved into the heart of downtown Vancouver.

    Here's a shot of our new neighborhood in downtown Vancouver. The actual neighborhood is called Yaletown. It's full of parks and great restaurants and is located right along the waters of False Creek. We're ecstatic to be living here and experiencing the urban adventures that contrast so sharply from our Squamish adventures.
    Taken from the West summit, the mountain in the distance is the South side of Mt. Currie. This is one of my favorite mountains in BC, and is the prominent mountain that is looms over the small town of Pemberton  (just a half hour North of Whistler).
    This is my last picture taken on the trip. I would've taken more, but I was just too damn tired to take the backpack off. At this point, our legs were starting to get shaky and we found ourselves completely off the trail. We had to downclimb some steep sections in the heather and finally got back to the lake. The only problem was we were completely wiped out, our legs were trashed, and we still had another 7 km and 3800 ft to descend. The final hours of the hike were spent fixated on food (McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Dominoes dominated the food agenda) and drink (beer, Coca-Cola, Lemonade, Iced Tea, and Ice cold water). We had run out of water, and were starving. After 12.5 hours hiking in daylight, and the final hour hiking in the dark, we were cooked and pretty certain we'd enter the initial stages of delirium when we reached the parking lot. Neel gave the car a big hug, and we screamed out of the parking lot to find food and drink.
