Anni Adventures

So remember how I said that Crown Mountain was my last hike of the season? Well I lied. Last week I was having some bubble tea with a few friends when I got an email from Chasing Sunrise. An impromptu sunrise hike on Saturday due to the last potential of nice weather. It was also a good opportunity for me to test out the SJ CAM that I bought. The last time we did this, the skies were very cloudy and we had maybe an inch of sky between the mountains and the clouds.  The good thing about sunrise climb so late in the year is that sunrise comes later. We started our ascent at 6:20 this time around, whereas last time we started around 4:30 in the morning.

The weather was great this time round. My friends and I started earlier than the group so for a good portion, we were able to stay ahead of the pack and avoid the crowd. In doing so, we managed to summit at around 7:30 am. We were part of the first group to summit and in doing so we got decent seats that gave us good view of the impending sunrise. The view was amazing. Take a look for yourself. The pictures don't justify the view you see though.

The only downside to this, was the crowd at the top of the mountain. It kind of took away from the beauty but, it was also an adventure in itself to be up there at 7:30 in the morning with other people.

There are SOO many things to do in this great city of ours. Whether it be in the spring, summer, fall or even winter. Often times, we take this for granted. I think there is this mindset that since we live in this beautiful city, we've become immune to the beauty that it is and the abundance of things to do it provides. Besides all the hiking that can be done (see my other posts), which it in itself can take you all summer! There are plenty of other things to do, whether it be free or at a cost. Today I would like to share one of the most common touristy thing you can do in our great city! Which is none other than the Capilano Suspension Bridge!
