this blog often contains subtle bragging about how wonderful it is to live in the fraser valley with all this wilderness so easily accessible, but my run yesterday with niko was so amazing that i feel the need to make the controversial switch to explicit bragging.
yesterday niko and i ran up elk mountain and along the ridge towards thurston peak. elk is one of the peaks featuring prominently in the view from our deck. unfortunately the camera died before i could take any pictures of the incredible alpine wildflowers and adjacent rocky peaks, but i did manage to get this one video clip.
step 1 - drive 15 minutes to the trailhead
step 2 - get out, stretch and then run straight up a continuous steep grade for 1 hour
step 3 - emerge onto the ridgeline and enjoy

Fantastic soundtrack. You should show me where that hike is so I can walk up it... cause I definitely can't run it.
