Taylor, Ashley and I conquered Mount Genevieve yesterday, locally referred to as “Sleeping Beauty”.

It was about 2 hours each way. The climb up was nearly as steep as the Grouse Grind, but much more varied terrain which made it quite a bit more interesting and enjoyable. We also only saw one other person the whole time, so it was very peaceful. The views from the top were stunning – we could see Queen Charlotte as well as the two main islands of Haida Gwaii.

There was a nice meadow with some wild flowers and a lake at the top of the climb.

Surprisingly the way down was almost tougher than the way up! I think we’re all a little sore today…
