I didn't take any photos of this hike because we didn't get high enough up to get good views (and I did NOT want to stop because the bugs would eat me alive!!!). We went as far as we could up the forestry road, and hiked ~4km and ~300m up to the trail. We found a faint trail and bushwhacked through some thick bushes and plants, ended up at a river that was quick moving with unstable big rocks as footing that we were apparently supposed to cross. However after trying to find the way for several minutes, it being super muggy and humid, still super smoky, bugs biting and buzzing into our ears, and doing two hikes the previous two days, we called it quits. We hiked back to the car and went to a lake on our way back to Squamish for a swim!
