Cypress from Jericho Beach



Here's a picture of Cypress from Jericho Beach yesterday. You can see # 1 is Black Mountain where they held some Olympic events last year. # 2 is Mount Strachan the other ski hill with the Sky Chair that gives you a great view of the Lions and Howe Sound. #3 is Hollyburn Ridge that you have to snowshoe up. Many years ago they used to have a ferry to west van and people had to hike up to the chair lift. In the /60's it was very popular. Cypress was full of cabins made by the public. Some still remain today but the property tax is crazy and there is still no electricity or running water in the cabins.
