We started hiking with 10 people..

..but only 8 (plus one canine) went to the top of Vedder Mountain on Saturday.  Due to a few breaks which consisted of ralphing and retching, I turned back with
my sick chick after only 1.5 kms and watched her
sleep on the back seat of the truck.. poor kid. 
Little trooper wanted to try it, but no such luck..
She came back from Alberta the night before,
and despite Gravol, travel seems to often knock her flat..:(
Aneira thoroughly enjoyed it though!
We were at one point wondering WHY,
on that beautiful sunny day of 13 degrees, we would head
up the mountain and hike in SNOW..
but, it was such a gorgeous day and the air was so crisp and
fresh and worth enjoying!

First, Aneira needed some help with getting rid
of her winter fur (could've recoated another animal
with what was all brushed out...:)


Little bit of exploring while waiting for the other
members of our group:


Good thing Mak always comes prepared:


Trees there are incredibly tall!
See Courtney hiking at base of trees?












Lots of mushroom there..
Hope you all had a great weekend!

  2. Vedder Mountain ja:) On the way to Cultus, you go 'right' off main road up Forest Service road to the trail head a few kms up.. we even gave a couple mountain bikers a ride up - felt sorry for them pushing their bikes up at about a 45 degree angle - die hards....:) Aneira loved the guy in the back with her:)
