Golden Ears on Google Maps
My Flickr site for more pictures -
I was going to Garibaldi high school and one of our teachers, Dan Buss, sponsored our outdoor club. He was good enough to take a bunch of us up the Golden Ears during the fall. I remember some of us on the way up suffered from being new to overnight hiking, and the fact that the trail was demanding. We camped in two different spots along the wooded ridge just before tree line. Someone lit off a flare in the lower campsite before going to bed and I remember we wondered if there was trouble. As it turned out, there wasn't. We were greeted with a wonderful sunrise the next morning.We gathered together in the morning and made our way towards the top. Fred Plateel is in the picture here.
Just before the summit we gathered together and took a break. For some of us, hiking was quite new and this hike was very demanding. I hope we all enjoyed a sense of accomplishment. Thanks again to Dan and Joe Buss for chaperoning us.
