Trip Report: Grizzly Ridge

We took Emily, Jasmine, and her doggo Theo out on an easy hike up Grizzly Ridge this past weekend, in the Highwood Pass area. I believe Emily thinks I don't know what the word 'easy' means, but I contest that. It was a perfectly pleasant and cool sunny day... that is, until it wasn't. As we stopped for lunch, it began to snow on us, because you know, July in Canada. Fortunately we were right at the northern edge of the weather system, and it only lasted for a few minutes, before moving past us to the south.

The theme of the day was making new friends, as we added an extra member to our group when a girl was out of her element on the neighbouring mountain, Mt. Tyrhwitt. We helped her down and she opted to join us for a less technical ascent up Grizzly Ridge instead. Theo also made a new friend, a gopher we nicknamed Alan, who would scream bloody murder after being playfully shaken around in Theo's mouth a few times before escaping.

For those of you who are looking for a hike with minimal effort, but maximal views from the top, Grizzly Ridge definitely fits that bill.
