After taking a rest yesterday, I went on to tackle the hike up Mt Benson. I didn’t bring a map with me, figuring it would be a straight forward hike according to the maps I found on the internet. However this was a mistake that I should of known (the trail isn’t clearly marked), and I got a bit lost taking the wrong trail. I had gone up on the Westwood ridge trail instead, and I was pointed in the right way by a nice British couple hiking on the trail. So that was 2 hours gone by. I finally got on the right trail (although that took me a few tries to figure it out), and got going.
The climb to the top of Mt Benson was kind of fun, it was steep in certain areas also (there was a rope to grab on and climb up on those tougher spots). The view at the summit was pretty nice of the city. I could even see the snow peaked mountains in the far distant on the BC mainland. For the hike down, I took part of the logging road to make the descent a bit easier and encountered a cool slug.
