A Sunset Picnic

The back of the Museum of Anthropology make for a spontaneous and delightful picnic spot with both a view of the sunset over the trees and an unobstructed northern view of downtown and the mountains. There’s no tables or facilities (cuz it’s not really a picnic spot), but that’s of little consequence when you can sit among the totem poles and First Nations long houses and have dinner with your favourite date.

Rather than taking the well walked path that lead to these grounds like normal people, do like we did and scale up the ginormous 3 story “anthill” instead. Then enjoy being the only ones sitting on the grassy lawn and watching the sun go down on a beautiful summer-ish night.

A word to the wise: beware the trail at the farthest end of UBC’s pacific spirit park unless one wants to see some skin-tastic buck naked men waiting to meet their Craigslist hook-ups. Yes, we saw you. In full-on glorious techni-skin-colour. That is, before you ducked back into the cover of bushes, after we surely disappointed you in not being your anonymous rendez-vous man.
