Day 186: Of goats and crowns

Today we went up to Goat Mountain, probably our favourite North Shore hike. We haven't been up there for three years so we felt we were long overdue a return visit. Plus we have our annual pass for Grouse Mountain which allows us to use the gondola for "free", so saving our sanity from the tedium that is the Grouse Grind. The views from the summit of Goat are superb and to my mind represent the best return for the least investment. Crown Mountain dominates the view immediately to the north and I took a couple of photos of the sheer rock faces. In one of them I noticed a group of five hikers perched on the summit of Crown, enjoying the view and the fine early autumn weather. We're thinking of putting Crown on our list for October, if the weather holds, since we haven't done that one yet.
