These pictures show some issue the beautiful lands These pictures show some issue the beautiful landscapes as we hiked up to Hat Mountain, traversing Fat Ass Peak. You can see all three peaks in the first photo (descending Hat, the bump ahead is Fat Ass Peak, and Brunswick looms behind).

Almost up Hat Mountain. There was a little easy scrambling/bushwacking

Brunswick Lake

Cool mushroom

The first part of the trail goes almost all the way to Tunnel Bluff before going up.

Nice lush trail! So much moss too farther up.

Mossy forest

Part of the climb on the back of Hat. You can kind of see the rocky summit above the trees.

This Fat Ass Peak is a blip but nice views too. That's Hat in the background, where we just came from.

Nice little pond

This was my fourth time in Brunswick, and each time was a different route: Brunswick-Harvey, Brunswick as part of the Howe Sound Crest Trail traverse, and Brunswick with Tunnel Bluff.
