Deep Cove Quarry Rock Hike

During our stay in vancouver, Alana and Jin invited us out to go on a hike with them in deep cove.  they had told us about it while visiting in israel, and we had expressed interest, so we made sure we could go!  they brought their dog decker along, the calmest energetic dog ive ever seen.  jin had just gotten a dog harness for a action cam, so he was trying that out on this hike too.

The Quarry rock hike starts out in a huge mass of roots, and then you start to climb a bit, but the overall route is not very vertical.  its more climbing up and then down gullies as you follow the contour of the mountain.

apparently in deep cove there is a super famous doughnut shop.  so after such a tiresome hike, we of course had to try them. i got a scone, everyone else the doughnut.
