Hiking up Elk Mountain in Chilliwack. Probably my favourite ‘fitness’ hike so far. It’s about 800m climb in 4 km and then you’re a pretty meadow (with some wild flowers) that has gorgeous views of Mount Baker, Cultus Lake, and other impressive looking mountains. We walked along the ridge for about 30 minutes until another unnamed summit that had nice views too. Didn’t go on to Mount Thurston as apparently it’s in the trees. Had lunch at the top. Afterwards, went to get some u pick strawberries and followed up with a Mexican dinner. Was with Anna, Thom, David, Kevin, Oscar and Ian. My glutes were sore the next day which I’m counting as a success since it means I used them! Counted moving time.
