We went to Bowen Island to do the hike up Mount Gardner. The distance was about 17 kms, with an elevation gain of 719 metres. With a couple of stops, the hike took around six hours. The view from the top is awesome, giving a very different perspective of Vancouver and the Gulf Islands. It was hard work coming downhill though as I was using muscles that normally aren't engaged through my regular workouts. I was sore for a day or two afterwards.
