| Fairy door |
After a short day of school on Monday, we headed off to climb Mt Erskine, also known as the 'fairy door' hike. It is one of my favourite things to do on Salt Spring Island - it's an fun exercise option when you can't be bothered running or doing weights because the climb is pretty steep, but you are rewarded for your efforts with an amazing view. The hike is great for kids because the fairy doors along the way provide the necessary motivation to keep climbing. This time, we were lucky to have a driver, so we could climb up and over the mountain as opposed to simply hiking up and then back down the same way. It was wonderful to take Mum on the hike, because I've come to take the scenery for granted since I've done the hike many times during our time on Salt Spring Island. Mum was suitably impressed and now I can't wait for her to see the Rockies.
