+To profit a bit more from the car, we decided to spend Saturday morning hiking up Mount Seymour with Ricardo and Thaís. |
|

+The only previous time we'd been to Mount Seymour park was to do Dog Mountain just after we'd arrived in Vancouver. |

+During the winter the resort operates a shuttle service from Rupert skytrain station, |
|
| 12 |
+but during the summer months you can only really access with a car. |

+We had actually attempted Mount Seymour when we came on vacation several years ago, but we had tried to start from Deep Cove |
|
| 15 |
+up the Three Chop trail (not having the luxury of a car, at that time). |
|
| 16 |
+After slogging through the forest for several hours and having a run in with a black bear we tapped out once |
|
| 17 |
+we reached Deep Cove Lookout (i.e. we didn't even make it to the trailhead for Mount Seymour itself!) and hitch-hiked back down. |

+This time, however, was much more successful. The trail is very well marked and the views from the summit are marvelous; a grand day out! |
