Cypress Peak

Wow, what weather for February and March!!!

I had to get out and give myself and Rubi (my new Jeep) some time to enjoy this unseasonable good, warm weather so I decided to go up to the headwaters of Roe Creek between Squamish and Whistler. I'd been up in that area a couple times before but had never actually gone up Cypress Peak, so I thought this would be the ideal opportunity. It was!!!

(Most of these pictures really don't look that good until you view them full size)
