Here are some photos of Saturday's hike on
Eagle Mountain. The goal was
Eagle Bluff which I reached without incident. Enjoy the photos and the scenery! The hiking route took me up the
Coquitlam Crunch Trail once again, to a view of the lower mainland and then on to Eagle Bluff. I couldn't have asked for better weather. I plan to post some more photos taken during the beginning of the hike but these will suffice for now. Enjoy!
That's the approach to the bluff above and tread marks in the sand from trail bikes in the photo below.
Here's another beautiful shot of
Buntzen Lake above and a shot of the trail from where I came.
The image above looks down to
Burrard Inlet and
Burnaby Mountain. The photo below shows the top edge of the
Eagle Bluff. Its a significant drop down from there.
Finally, this is a shot (above) across the top of a rock found near the edge of the bluff. The view alone was well worth the effort in getting there! - V

I admit I'd be a little freaked out having to walk so close to those huge power lines!
Great pictures
How long does it take to do the entire trail? Do you need to pause often? Are there many resting places on the trail?

I'd estimate the time to hike from the beginning and return to the starting point takes about 6 hours or so. I take a rest when necessary, such as on a rock or log, and then proceed. Usually I'm plodding along. I have water and mixed nuts and fruit with me as a snack. Its mostly uphill on the way with some downhill towards the end before there's another short climb. Its well worth the effort just for the view in the end. I'd like to go up again to the same point but in winter to get photos when everything is snow-covered! - V
Jon, I also have to fight the effects of vertigo to take the photos of the scenery but its worth it! - V
