This is our breakfast
Alright, it's already past 2:30, we're late. We gotta get going on this hike I don't know how long it takes.
So we got to start now. So this is Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver.
It's just under an hour to get here from Vancouver
and as I showed you there are some amazing views of the city along the way. We headed up towards a downhill ski hills.
Alright, we've been sidetracked getting pictures of the inukshuk and the Olympic rings but we're on our way to Black Mountain.
Okay, so we never did go to Black Mountain..
We were originally planning making our way to Eagle bluffs
but we ultimately decided we were gonna find a quicker,
shorter and easier hike. We kind of roamed around a bit. The trails up
there are very well marked. At every intersection was a map pointing you in whatever direction you want it to go.
Which is needed because since this is a ski, snowboard,
tobogganing and snowshoeing Mountain during the winter.
There are trails everywhere. You can get confused pretty easily if you've never been here before.
Alright so we at the Bowen Island lookout.
We skip the Eagle Bluff for today. We'll have to do that next time but look at this,
this is a gorgeous view. There are so many animals around, like birds and
squirrels are everywhere.
So, yes
We ended up at the Bowen Island
lookout. Now before I give you the view from the lookout I should mention again that this hike is very easy.
If you are on Cypress Mountain and short of time
this is the perfect place to visit. It took us about an hour to get here from the parking lot.
It's a year-round hike so it's a great snowshoeing trail if it's that time of year and the views are spectacular.
You have gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean,
Bowen Island,
which is that large island there in the distance and just tons of other smaller islands. Bring food and drinks
because we spent an hour here just admiring the view and not to mention there were tons of birds and squirrels just
roaming around.
Oh but you might want to bring bug spray because they were vicious.
Luckily they seem to leave us alone once we were at the lookout.
I think this is a bear paw print..
Not sure if you can see it
Damn we got to get out of here!
Alright so we survived. we didn't run into any bears and now we're gonna get some drinks because that's what we do after every hike.
This one's Black Kettle Brewery. I haven't been before but it's in North Vancouver, pretty close to the lookout spot. So let's go check it out
So we kept up our tradition of drinks after hiking. The Black Kettle brewery had a pretty chill environment.
It was a weekday afternoon so it was pretty quiet but the drinks were good!
Alright Sam and Dan recommended this place if it's bad I'm gonna blame them.
So another YouTube channel called Sam and Dan which is apparently from Vancouver BC here
recommended this place for having the best cheap eats Mexican food in Vancouver.
The prices were pretty good and it's hard to find good Mexican food in Vancouver, so I wasn't disappointed.
The place was crowded and this was a Monday evening, so I can't imagine how busy it gets on a Friday night.
So we ended up somewhere completely
unexpected. We weren't planning on going there
but it ended up being a pretty good day. If you're looking for more videos in the Vancouver and Greater Vancouver area
