Well.
As of last weekend when we drove by, the Coquihalla was under about a foot of water, and yesterday we woke up to six inches of snowfall here at our house. Not the way things normally go, but I'll take some local snow without complaint. We headed to our MTB destination on foot, so we could at least scope it out for springtime.
Gorgeous. There is nothing like hiking through a burn after a big early season snowfall. My pictures don't even come close to doing it justice.
We saw a large wolf as well. Not pictured.
We ended up hiking (slowly) for about two and a half hours, doing a big loop through the park. This was our first time, and we had no map - when we found our way back to the car, it had felt like a pretty long hike. Without knowing anything about the park, I was worried that we had just spent a morning circumnavigating the entire park - it was fun, but if we could do all that in a morning on foot, we were going to run out of mountain bike real estate pretty quickly.
Not the case. This is most excellent. We will probably be able to spend all winter here on skis, and as soon as we have skiied it out, we can start exploring all over again on bikes.
