Our walk Monday was a little shorter but a lot tougher as these photos will show. Great weather and a good climb up and down. - DeNNis.
 |
| Parked our cars just off Strathcona Heights Rd (260 Meters Elevation) - pretty steep climb up old logging road - to Mt Baldy Summit (460 meters). Then down the other side (above Easter Seal Camp) to the cell phone tower (360 meters). From there a fairly level trail through the bush back to old logging road. |
 |
| When you see these big Arbutus trees, you know you are just about at the summit. |
 |
| Beautiful views of Shawnigan Lake. |
 |
| Looking north-east from the other side of the summit. |
 |
| Some pretty steep slippery slopes as we start our way down the other side. |
 |
| Thought I should get a picture while everyone was still with us. At least they are all still smiling. |
 |
| Our next stop is the Cell Tower away down there below us. |
 |
| More steep, slippery slopes. |
 |
| This was a tough one to negotiate. |
 |
| We all made it safely - "Whew." |
 |
| After consulting a couple of bird books, my best guess is a "Red-Breasted Sapsucker". |
Also some pretty flowers-weeds???
