Mountain Hounds, Beach Hounds, Travel Hounds - Part 3

This is the final installment in our Vancouver adventure!

On top of the world!

While we were in Vancouver visiting my friend, we decided we would like to go for a hike. A couple of ideas were thrown around but we finally settled on the Stawamus Chief near Squamish, BC. "The Chief" is a monolith  (the second largest in the world supposedly). The hike is very tough with difficult scramble sections, especially for the dogs. I really wanted to get some video of Kili climbing the tough bits but I had to be spotting and helping her so I couldn't. I did get some footage of some of the less challenging portions where I felt she didn't need a spotter... they're still pretty intense! I was proud of my little mountain goat!

The hike is 1.8 km and took us about 3.5 hours round trip. The view at the top is completely worth it!
