A good spot to shed layers with great views down the Squamish Valley.

Serene, ancient and verdant. The coastal rainforest is such a beautiful ecosystem.

Beyond Crooked Falls the trails even out and become perfect singletrack.

The River Crossing. At this level the water was just above knee deep at most. The water is cold, but not glacial.

The glacial plain beneath Pelion-Ossa. This spot is one of the better places to camp. Despite the evidence of campfires, remember they are not permitted in the park.

Three Lake can be hard to find in the fog. In misty weather, having a good map, compass, and GPS working together can be handy.

Three Lakes Campsite. Finding a spot to pitch a tent can be challenging in the mist, but there are plenty of sections where a two-person tent can fit.

You'll get increasingly awe-inspiring views of the coast range as you gain elevation.

Mount Ossa ridge is fairly easy in the lower sections, though one or two unexposed scrambly steps are required.

Looking up toward Mount Ossa. This is a terrific route for scrambles, but if you aren't comfortable with exposure and don't have a helmet, it's not recommended to continue.

Walking the long trail back out after a full day with the sun going doing. It's a long day.
