Additional Info:
Steph and I decided to visit Jaimie, Dan & Trevor over the weekend in Vancouver. We wanted to do a hike and settled on Mount Harvey - it seemed like we were going to be socked in the entire time, and as we neared the summit we started losing hope that it was going to clear up - which is disheartening after 1500m of elevation gain! Anyways. We got a few windows of views towards the ocean and snapped some photos at the summit, and on our way down it cleared more and we got some sun. Lesson learned - always sleep in! There were some groups that were on their way down as we were hiking up who only got whiteout views from the summit.
