I had wanted to do this trip earlier
but an rock slide had stopped all travel
to Squamish
The clouds look ominous
It seemed to be some clearer where I was headed
These little streams cover the banks
Which in turn lead to these
The road was just gravel
but climbed quite sharply
Looking down into a ravine
This is where the Skookum Creek
enters the Mamquam River
Just after the river I took a small detour
I glad I did
I came across the area of Basalt
(Volcanic Rock)
It was amazing to explore
Back on the trail
The road follows the river for a ways
before it starts it's climb
These are all old logging roads in this area
as you can tell by the clear cuts
In the distance you can see a clear cut
that has been replanted
and growing well
The roads were fun
Hillsides covered in fire weed
So many trails
I chose this as my turn around
and place for lunch
From here the stream takes a huge drop down into the valley
In the distance you can see the road
that I have to get back too
Almost out to the #99
Out on the highway
at the base of the Stawamus Cheif
In very little time I was
back to Vancouver
but an rock slide had stopped all travel
to Squamish
