  June
30, 2005. We Drove to Golden, B.C.
mainly to visit the Bear Refuge. But of course they would have
a "tourist package", and we're weak enough to take
it. Gondola, SkyLunch, and the Bear Refuge for $37/person. The
food was good, and we saw Boo the bear. The Gondola was also
being used by Mountain Bikers and the runs were quite busy at
that time. |
  It
was quite weired to ride a lift in tees and see mountain bikers
down below instead of snowboarders.
So of course, most of the lifts I know don't go to the summit.
The end of our lift was sure enough to be in between two higher
peaks.
(1) This is Blue Heaven 8033'. Half an hour hike to the summit
from the restaurant, mostly through a ski run. The view is wicked.
360 of flurried summits and green valleys. |

After lunch, we went back to the base and took a quad, half
way up the hill to visit the Bear Refuge.
(2) This is Boo. His mother was apparently killed by a poacher
and so some better people had to adopt and raise him so he would
survive. He's 3 and a half years old. He's still quite young
and small but if I see this size grizzly in the wild... honestly,
I don't know what I would do. |
