Snowshoeing Mt. Seymour, PT 1: Pump Peak

Sunday, March 6 was a gorgeous day as forecasted and I had only been snowshoeing once this season. I called up my sister, her boyfriend and my friend Richard to see if we could organize a last minute snowshoe adventure to the top of Mount Seymour's first peak, "Pump Peak". It took very little convincing before we were on our way to the rental section at MEC in North Vancouver. Equipped with snowshoes and Cliff bars, we headed for Mount Seymour to ascend some peak!

Snowshoeing Dog Mountain

We had been meaning to check out Dog Mountain for some time but the weather just wouldn't cooperate. When the sun was shining and the air was clear, we rented some snowshoes from Mountain Equipment Coop and made our way up Seymour Mountain. It had to be one of the clearest days I had seen in a while. The edges of the mountains were so distinct and visible from Vancouver I couldn't wait to see the view Dog Mountain had waiting for us.

No one in the group had gone snowshoeing before. Just as soon as we were all equipped in our boots, I got a stranger to take our photo. The adventure had begun!
