Walking 1:00:00 [1] 3.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
Walking around at UBC Botanical Gardens. Spent about 3 hours there and probably covered more than the mileage logged, but we stopped a lot to read tags identifying plants. Lots of rhodendrons, magnolias and maples in their collection (along with many Pacific Northwest big trees). Who knew that there were over 400 different kinds of rhododendron?

Walking 1:00:00 [1] ** 3.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
Wandering around Stanley Park in Vancouver. Pretty nice place for a city park. Bright sunny day with temps in the upper 70s. Had a copy of the Stanley Park sprint map so followed along for the parts when we were on the map.
7 PM
Trail Run 41:03 * 6.59 km (6:14 / km) +106m 5:46 / km
ahr:137 max:152 shoes: NB 1210 "Leadville"
Stanley Park, starting at Third Beach, taking a non-direct route on gravel trails across the peninsula, and then back via the paved trail along the seawall. Gravel trails were mostly through the woods (big trees!) and uphill at the beginning. Very scenic (which is an understatement). Cooled down with a brief wade in the ocean.

Hiking 1:40:30 [2] 5.84 km (17:13 / km) +208m 14:37 / km
shoes: NB 1210 "Leadville"
Hiked up Thunder Knob in North Cascades NP. A well developed trail with any steepish climbs moderated by switchbacks. Decent views of Diablo Lake (formed by a hydroelectric dam on the Skagit River) and lots of steep sided mountains with patches of snow on them. Temps got into the 80s and it was sunny, so hiking was on the warm side.
