PART II

Ice cream stop at Whistler is almost a must. I think no matter what time of the year it is, you always will stop there and will get at least one scoop of this delicious treat :) So we did it! Check mark - YES! Another popular thing is to take a photo next to Olympic rings. Guess what?! We did that too :) We also had a drink in a patio with a view to Blackcomb and Whistler mountains. This is were our trip changed. Our lovely waitress asked about our plans etc. etc. Then she gave us a tip to visit Brandywine Falls on our way back. I've never heard about it and we felt intrigued by this place. I checked on maps and it was on a way back to Vancouver so we all decided to stop there after our lunch.

sweet sweet treat :)

I was shocked when I saw this waterfall. This little shallow creek that you can see below turns into this huuuuge waterfall. Can you believe this? Smart internet says it's 70m hight. Impressive! And then this creek goes further into this beautiful valley which reminded me a lot of Lithuania. So yes, if you are bored or want to see a waterfall make a stop at Brandywine Falls. It's also possible to get all the way to the base but we decided to skip this time because none of us were prepared for it. Brandywine Falls I will come again! ;P

Haha, last but not least spot for our long day was Cyprus Mountain. We do come here once in a while with Youn and it's nice look out view to Vancouver :)

PART I

My heart is happy when I see people around me being happy. It gets to the next level when I can share the things I love. This is my why. This is why I'm still in Canada, this is why I take photos, this is where I opened up and finally full filled my dream about mountains.

Having my childhood friend coming to see me and to see my life over seas meant a lot to me. I hope Morta and Andrius are still inspired by culture, nature and all the 'goodies' they experienced :) Take a look at our adventure to Sea to Sky Gondola next to Squamish :)

Grouse Mountain hike with no grouses around

May 17, 2018

We left Vancouver and took a public transit to get to Grouse Mountain. Believe it or not but it was a beautiful sunny noon. Not around the mountain though, clouds where hanging down and gave a nice cool feeling while we were climbing up. BCMC trail has a nice slow base and then it goes more steep and chalenging, then the trail gets a little bit more wet and then you reach snoooooow level :) Up there it seems like fog is in the forest but don't get foolled - you are in the cloud :) Yassss!!

Grizzlies were still on their winter nap :) waking once in awhile and looking at us.

Took this ginger grizzly back home to scare Youn :)

Andrius being Andrius ;)

Sneaky crow .

It doesn't matter where are you going.

It's who you have beside you.

Did a crow steal a sandwich?

Homemade sandwiches and coffee in your termo mug is a perfect combo for a small hike in a forest after rain :) I took Morta and Andrius to Capilano Pacific Trail, where we visited Cleveland Dam and then walked all the way down to West Vancouver. Sometimes you just ignore or forget about such simple hikes because you always want to see something new and better then the last one, but this nice walk was a great reminder that no matter what - spending time in nature is awesome :) Take a look at these beautiful mossy trees and my friends enjoying it :)
