A hike in Lynn Canyon Park

Doogie enjoys hiking out into the creek
One of the things that I really miss about the Vancouver area is all the great little hikes you can do through the woods. Carrie has a great location for her house, just a quick walk over to Lynn Canyon Park. So the morning after the BBQ with Carrie and Carl, we had breakfast with Scott and Benita then headed out for a little hike with Benita, Carl, Carrie and Doogie.

The ladies- Benita, Carrie then Ritsy. The idea was I would take over carrying Ken midway through the hike, though when I offered Ritsy said she was fine.
There was a nice thin waterfall on the side of the hiking trail.
The suspension bridge was a little smaller than the other one in North Vancouver (Capilano)- but it is also a lot cheaper (means free). The bridge had a nasty swinging going on around the midpoint. But everyone braved it including Doogie!
Finally when we hit this mountain of stairs, Ritsy passed Ken over to me-man it was exhausting. The hike in itself embodies the beauty of Vancouver-- access to nature, clean well maintained trails and could activity to do with your friends that doesn't cost a lot of money. It was a nice start to the day!
