Teapot Hill Picnic

Our day started at the grocery store getting items for our picnic lunch. Whole wheat buns loaded with fresh veggies and garlic roast beef were on the menu. Along with chicken salad and crackers. We opted for precooked sliced chicken breast to save time but you could always cook some chicken breast ahead of time and store them in your fridge. We also had baby carrots with yogurt ranch dip and fresh fruit. All the ingredients coming in under 10 dollars. Once we got back in my kitchen we whipped up a lunch and packed it into a backpack with some water bottles and we were off. From White Rock we decided to take the more scenic route to Cultus Lake heading through the Langley and Aldergrove farm lands. Luckily my VW Golf was close to empty so we got to take advantage of the cheap gas in Aldergrove. The weather was on our side and we arrived at the foot of Teapot Hill at around 2 o'clock. Due to the time of year it was nice and breezy but the sun was still shining. Tea Pot Hill is a moderate level hike that even families will find enjoyable. Approximately 4 km it will take about 2 hours if you take your time and enjoy the trail. The best part at the top their are a few good lookout points with views of Cultus Lake and the surrounding area. This is where we sat and enjoyed our picnic lunch and took in some rays before heading back down and sitting on the lake. We always like to take a good book and sit somewhere and relax when the weather permits. http://www.vancouvertrails.com/trails/teapot-hill/
