Mountain of the Week - w 23

This week's mountain is Eagle Hill and Deer Ridge in the Sibbald Creel area. After seeing photos from last week's hike my Chinese room mate wanted to join me. Even though he is used to mountains from his province in China I didn't want to lure him into something too difficult (his outdoor gear consisted of runners and an umbrella). We ended up doing a fairly easy hike of 16 km and 400 m elevation. Mostly forest landscape but once we reached the highest point we got a nice view of the valley. Close to the start of the hike I almost got eaten by a bear.
OK, I didn't almost get eaten but I almost saw a bear, i.e. some of the others in the group saw a bear.
