Deep Cove

Deep Cove...


Deep Cove marina or yacht club and canoe/kayak rentals. From Deep Cove the waters lead to the Burrard Inlet, and from here you can reach downtown Vancouver, Vancouver Island, the Strait of Georgia and ultimately the Pacific Ocean


City Planners with a sense of humor...


More signs of spring. Unless you have lived through a harsh Northern winter (either Northern US or Canada, its basically the same) you have NO idea how exciting it is...after being blanketed in white and snow and ice for months, for it to finally melt and thaw...and see color and feel spring!!!


The homes are built along the sides of the mountains that form the cove. Many of them have creeks and mountain streams running through their property so they built around or on top of it.



Blossoms = spring. Bad lighting in the photo but SO pretty


The Baden-Powell trail is approx. 48km of nature trail that traverses the North Shore from Horeshoe Bay to Deep Cove...




View from look-out at end of trail on top of the mountain...


The walk back down...


Charred tree trunk after lightning strike




Off the trail and back in town...
