Mount Gardner

The weather forecast for today was kind of touch & go, so rather than investing the time to travel further afield, Killaine & I decided to head off to one of the islands on Howe Sound for a short hike.

We had originally planned on hiking up Mt. Liddell, on Gambier Island. But, the parking at the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal was full, so we ended up changing our plans to take the car over to Bowen Island and hike up Mt. Gardner.

It's a pleasant hike up through the trees, with nice views across to Vancouver, and up the Sunshine coast. Only about 3 hours return - so left plenty of time for beers back down at Snug Cove.
