Not every trip has fantastic weather, but often it’s worth going anyway. This trip did not have a predetermined destination. The decision in the parking lot was to go to Rousseau Ridge from the North Gowlland Road side. This is a short walk to a rocky bluff with great views of Discovery Passage, when it’s clear. There is a bit of scrambling to get to the top. It didn’t even rain.
