Well I don’t think I have ever led a hike on Mt Prevost where conditions and views were like today. The hike was offered through the Outdoor club of Victoria and the Ramblers. Only one from each club came.
I did have another but she could not participate due to illness. She was sad not to make it, I was sad also because I like meeting new people. Her words to me this morning hit my heart as she said she only joined the club so she could meet me and hike with me. She said I was an inspiration. I thanked her for her kindness and hope we can hike together soon.
Sue and I had an amazing hike, I took her to all the corners of the mountain. A highlight was watching the hang gliders take off and soar so freely. Another highlight was seeing some glacier lilies coming up, but I was saddened to see motorcycle tracks through some of them and these flowers are off trail. Not sure why many hikers did not come out today, it was a beautiful day to be out.
Those that came loved it and when I got home there was an email filled with gratitude. That was beautiful.
