Norvan Falls

I'm terrible at updating my blog. I've been hiking so rarely as of late (more on why in an upcoming post) you would think I could keep up with them! I guess I don't have a future as an outdoor adventure writer... I guess I'll stick to programming!

I did the Norvan Falls trail in early April with three other people. It was a cloudy Saturday with a bit of rain here and there. The result of the time of year and the rain was that the trail was very wet and muddy for a majority of the way. I feel like now would be a great time to do a plug for Keen, the company that makes my hiking boots, since my feet remained warm and dry for the entirety of the hike! (If anybody from Keen ever reads this, you should consider sponsoring me as an outdoor adventure writer! I swear I would write more often if I was paid to do it!). The trail itself is about a 14 km round trip up Lynn Valley following the river for a lot of the way. The trail is very level, and if there wasn't as much mud when I did it I would wager that it would be a very easy hike!

One could barely see a mountain just across the stream!

Norvan falls itself is about a 50 foot waterfall which feeds into the river. I was personally more impressed by them than I was by Niagra falls (which I find to be way too commercialized, but hey, that's just me).
