October's "Kind of a hike..."
  
Recently I took my daughter and a student from France who is living with us for a few months up the Sea to Sky Gondola near Squamish. Even though it was early October the weather was flawless - sunny but just cool enough for perfect hiking. Speaking of which - from the top there are all kinds of trails, from the incredibly easy My-Grandmother-can-do-it type to hard core back country treks. the big advantage of which is being able to start off high in the mountains.
Our French student, who doesn't easily reveal that she likes something, admitted she loved it. And she lvies in the French Alps! So high praise indeed.
A tip: Buy your tickets on line, as you will save a few bucks. And go early if it is sunny and you want a table on outdoor deck - it fills up fast.
