Heart to heart, the beauty of Nature is awe-inspiring and the adorable little creatures are also very endearing.
To instill the value of connection with nature for its intrinsic value, we need to spend time in and among our favourite Earthly elements. Fortunately, there are eco-conscious transportation options available for accessing Nature's parks and "snow gardens" as I like to call ski resorts.
Backcountry snowshoeing is free at Cypress Mountain (no lift ticket required - the only lift you get is that of your own two legs making gains on the heights of Black Mountain) and there's a shuttle bus that leaves from Vancouver Art Gallery in the morning that costs about $27 round trip where you can leave the driving to the bus operator. Snow shoe rentals are available at https://yescycle.com/snowshoes-rental-vancouver/ Carpooling with friends using a private car, Uber, https://www.poparide.com/ or Taxi is also a good idea.
This video was taken during Covid; great views and highly oxygenated air were the benefits of this "social distancing" precaution.
I am sharing this in hopes that everyone will take advantage of the chance to visit the sea to mountain beauty of Vancouver, BC - Unceded Traditional Coast Salish Territories!
And I am sharing this because this place is so beautiful and we are very privileged to live here! I only hope that by sharing this recreational opportunity, that it will help more people to value Earth for its intrinsic value!
