Expedition #1 - Ridgelines & Coastlines: Hiking

Words & Photos by Fabian Strasser

We met at Crothall to meet our group leaders, before we driving in a small van to Fairway grocery store to buy our food we wanted to have for lunch. Then we hiked a small “warm-up Hill”  and after that we met the kids of grade 3 to go with them to the beach to look for interesting plants and animals. When we were done that we drove to the Bear Mountain Resort to hike Mount Finlayson. Before we started hiking we cooked our  delicious lunch and enjoyed it.

Then we started our hike. The mountain was sometimes so steep we had to do a little bit of rock-climbing. That was a thrill. When we reached the summit we only had a small break as time was running out and we had to get back. In the end, the small trip was very cool and we got to know each other much better.
