Day 344: Many paths

I've used three approaches to getting up Grouse Mountain: the gondola, the Grouse Grind and the adjacent BCMC trail. Cleary, riding the gondola is the easiest, but there's no doubt that the BCMC trail is far nicer than the staircase that is the Grind. As the saying goes, "One journey, many paths", which is a comment on life and how there are many ways to lead it. Last night's fresh snowfall meant I could get a picture of the entire mountainside blanketed in white. I like the way that the snow really shows up the deep gulleys and drainage systems on the mountain; not a pleasant place to end up. A surprise was how the snow also highlights the swath of smaller trees marking the path taken by the gondola.

Click through to Flickr to see a couple of notes about where the hiking trails are.
