Hiking 3:20:00 [1] 13.0 km (15:23 / km)
We had planned to do the Byrne Creek WET followed by a socially distanced Canada Day picnic today but the weather was a bit rainy so that was postponed.
Mom, dad and I decided to continue our get to know the tri-cities better hiking project by hiking from Ioco to the Coquitlam River in Poco via Port Moody and Lafarge Park.
We had a few more side adventures and less than ideal alternative routes than on our Sunday outing. The hiking book that we have been using is about 10 years old and there have been some changes (which caused a bit of the confusion). The main problem is that the author is much less concerned with giving explicit direction or providing complete maps than waxing poetic about his philosophy on no trespassing signs or salmon hatcheries.
In the future, I think that I will trace the routes out ahead of time on another map to avoid having to parse his prose at every decision point.
Still, I have enjoyed both hikes as they have taken me through some unexpected neighbourhoods and areas that I likely would have never ventured to on my own.
