When I pointed out the cable cars of the Sea to Sky Gondola from the highway and told my dad that was what we were going to be doing, he didn't seem as excited as I'd hoped. I think he said something along the lines of "no way." It was touch and go there for awhile, but he came around in time and up we went. Its a pretty cool ride. Even cooler because I remember hiking it and seeing how steep it is makes me incredibly impressed with myself all over again:) Dad survived the ride, and when we got to the suspension bridge up at the summit lodge, once again, he wasn't as excited as I hoped. I think he said something like "nope." But of course, after recuperating a minute from the gondola ride, went across just the same:) It was a great day on the summit, so we we hiked a scenic loop—basically a nature trail that leads between various lookout points and viewing platforms.
It was great having such stunning vantage points to view the surrounding peaks, and Howe Sound below—it was a particularly scenic birthday. When all was done, said, and seen, my day finished with a glass of wine on the lodge's dining patio before we headed back to the city.
Really grateful for such a rich and beauty filled day out with my dad:)
