View from Cypress Mountain

On the weekend we went for a drive to Cypress Mountain. Cypress Mountain has a number of ski fields and is home to the Black Mountain ski resort. Cypress Mountain is one of the few coastal mountains that can be driven all the way to the top. This is the view of Vancouver city from one of the stops on the way up. At this time of year there is no snow and practically all the facilities up there were shut on Cypress Mountain. In fact it was a pretty uninspiring summer jount! People appeared to be venturing up there for the view (as we were), mountain biking or hiking. Hiking would probably be the most dangerous option, the rubbish bins were all bear-proofed up there. We still haven't seen one. However, since someone literally got scalped by one last week, I am certain that I don't want to run into one anytime soon!
