Description: Crumpit Woods, Squamish. This is a new destination to me. Apparently there are a number of connecting trails and a couple of excellent viewpoints. We'll pick up a trail guide at the Squamish visitors centre and go exploring together.

Description: Eagle Bluffs. Let’s hike out to Eagle Bluffs (about five hours return) and hope for a good day because the views are terrific. We start from the downhill skiing area of Cypress Mountain. It may be one of the last opportunities before they close the area for the 2010 Olympics.

Description: Mount Galiano. We will catch the 8:35am ferry from Tsawwassen arriving on Galiano at 9:30am. This is mostly a walk on quiet island back-roads, but with a "real" hike up (and down) trails leading to Mount Galiano at about 300 meters. From the top there are superb views of other islands scattered in the Gulf of Georgia. Total distance will be about 15km. We will probably stop at the Hummingbird Pub before returning to Tsawwassen on the 5:40pm ferry. Total ferry fare cost will be $20.15.
