Last Sunday was sunny and it was definitely a good day to stay outdoor, so I chose Rock Quarry which is a short hiking trail at Deep Cove to hike with Kareshi. I'm not a hiking person but I do like to hike once in a while to enjoy the amazement of being embraced by the creation of Mother Nature. Few hours walk in a good weather is definitely not a problem to me.
We had lunch at home and packed some food for hiking. Haha I have to say, Kareshi and I are quite alike sometimes, the first thing we thought of was ICED water and nothing else. By 12:15pm, we were all ready to embark on our journey. I was all excited and kept snapping pictures along the way, only to know that these were also the photos I took in this journey.
Despite the preparation, we lost sight of the huge crowd flocking into North Vancouver due to long weekend. I had a bad feeling once I saw the crowd and parking lots which were all filled up. Sigh, and I was right, we were totally defeated by the crowd. After driving around for a few rounds, we decided to give up on the plan and switch to having a scenic drive.
Kareshi tried to offset my disappointment and kept driving around in hope of a spot. We finally found one spot which was 6079879m further than the Deep Cove Park but it was better than nothing and have a brief walk around it.
We saw a trail without name and we just started our journey without much hesitation. To our surprise, the trail was clean and nicely path and it only took us 10 minutes to get up the hill. Once we got up the hill, the first thing that came into our sight was a short row of beautiful houses. Kareshi and I looked at each other, and realized that we invaded into someone else's backyard.
Oops..... so we just got down immediately.
Well, I still managed to stay close to the Greenery after a long time and the trespassing experience was definitely a bonus to alleviate the disappointment of our failed plan. Deep Cove is such a nice place and undoubtedly worth a second visit!
