During this particular hike we stayed local, heading off to the Quarry Mountain.  Yes there is a mountain!!!  some didn’t know that.

We met at the main gate all ready to burn off some xmas cheer prompty at 8am.  After morning salutes, sniffs and whatnot (i’ll leave that to your imagination) we were on our merry way.

It was a spectacular morning and the sun was already poking out with promises of a nice view at the top – we surely were not disappointed!  Along the way we saw some trees, rocks and a bit of dirt… I know your probably surprised.  Oh and an old car that obviously took a wrong turn one fateful day many many years ago.  I think we were all in our xmas fog as everyone was well behaved and focused on getting to the top.  Heads down, bodies moving forward and upward.

Once we emerged to the open bluff we were met with a beautiful sunshine and view!  You could see for miles and miles (check out photos at link below).  Of course staying with tradition we popped our bottle of bubbly… which we ALWAYS must finish because I’LL BE if i have to carry leftovers back down!  I like that even less than backtracking.. lol 

It was a great and beautiful hike and I highly recommend it.  2.5 hours (including our mini cocktail party at the top).

Sorry it’s taken so long to write or post pictures about this fieldtrip!  I’ve had to rely on facebook for photos of this trip until my website is up and running a little more smoothly :)

Enjoy Quarry Mountain Photos
