Mount Windsor via Deeks Lake

Yesterday I hiked from Porteau Cove around Deeks Lake and up Mount Windsor. Porteau Cove is about a 40 minute drive North from Vancouver.




The first 3kms of the hike is along a very good condition road. Next time I would bring a mountain bike for this portion.



The sky was hazy with smoke from the many recent wildfires around BC. Here's a view at Deeks Lake.


The last bit of the hike is the most interesting part. A short scramble to the summit.


A few points about this hike:
-Lots of good berries on the trail; thimbleberries, salmonberries and huckleberries.
-Next time I would bring a bicycle for the first 3kms.
-Apparently in the winter this is a good ski/snowshoe route.
