Word is getting out and we had friends join us for a great Sunday hike to the top of Bear Hill. www.crd.bc.ca/parks/bearhill/index.htm Our morning began at Wayne and Pauline's house for breakfast. We were joined by Jessica, Marlen and Wayne's parents, Yu Jain and Lian Zhu. Lian Zhu has been suffering with a sore knee so we were all pretty proud of her making it to the summit.Wayne's parents are both over 70 and are in great shape from years of Qi Gong Dance. Their movements are very strong and fluid. I admire and want to emulate them as I get older. 52weeks will be my start.
Bear Hill has a rough path, rocky and steep in some spots. There are plenty of beautiful places to stop and rest. The capital region district lists it as a moderate trail with the estimated time to the summit 30 minutes. The rock path is sometimes moss covered and this can be slippery. I would have to caution people to consider their footwear on this hike. Especially during the rainy season.
We were lucky to have a break in the weather so our Sunday, in a string of rainy days, was dry with low wind. We had a lot of fun and even did a few flying eagle qi gong movements at the top.
Our descent was slippery and filled with giggles from the near spills.
Next week: Francis/King Regional Park
