Going camping to split rock lighthouse state park with a friend of mine. Looking to do some hiking. Any trails anyone can recommend in the park or in the area? We are looking for 1-4 hr hikes. Thanks.

Nice post Tyler

Like Tawcan says, its also a good snowshoe trail for sure. You wouldn’t need much (any) experience to get out in the winter for a day hike. You just have to watch less hours of sunlight. I know you ski so you would dress the same more or less and just rent the snowshoes from Grouse! (just need warm/ waterproof boots).

I have a Grouse pass this year, and when winter comes plan to do this one a few times for sure. Just hit me up if you and the ms’s would like to join, @Tawcan @VancityAllie as well! hmmm… I’m sensing a tweetup here… haha, I’ll have to remember this and organize one in the winter.

@Tawcan – Yea we would like to get into hiking that you do, especially the over night/camping ones. We just dont have the gear or knowledge yet, so these little quick half-day hikes are alright for us We will be building up to bigger ones!

Dog mountain is a good hiking destination for both winter and summer time. In the winter you can always go up in snowshoe. Done it a few times myself. For me the trail is in pretty good shape, but then I do have a completely different definition when it comes to “hiking.”

Looks like a fun hike and a beautiful view at the end!

You’re right, it’s definitely hard to get city photos like that when it is hazy and it’s pretty hard to get good nature/hiking shots… but you’ve found a way to make them look interesting and vibrant!

Your edits look great.

A second camera body? Sounds good to me!
