Dog Mountain HIke

At the end of a work day a few of us strapped on

our hiking shoes and headed for a hike on

Dog Mountain.

Photo op at First Lake

After a couple of weeks of mid 20'C weather

we were very surprised to see snow

On a clear day, the rocky summit provides nice mountain views of Lynn Peak and Coliseum Mountain, and the outlines of Crown Mountain can be seen in the distance.

Clearly it was not visible the day we were up, but it did clear up for some nice shots

To the South-West, there's Vancouver, with Stanley Park, the Lions Gate Bridge and Point Grey
