The Golden Ears Peak - Maple Ridge - a photo on Flickriver

            Maple Ridge, BC Canada

As one of the largest parks in the province, Golden Ears Provincial Park is prized for its recreational opportunities. 

The extensive system of trails within the park provides an excellent opportunity for hiking and horseback riding. 

Alouette Lake is a popular spot for swimming, windsurfing, water-skiing, canoeing, boating and fishing. The park also has three large campgrounds. Vegetation is typical of the coastal western Hemlock forest of B.C. and the mountainous backcountry is extremely rugged. 

Golden Ears is the name of the summit that lies north of Maple Ridge, British Columbia and is visible from most of the western Lower Mainland. 

The mountain is in Golden Ears Provincial Park, and was originally referred to as Golden Eyries, possibly for Golden Eagles that were observed near the summit. There is confusion about the name, because of the twin summits the peak exhibits. 

Many people believe that the mountain is named because it looks like ears which become golden in the sunset light.
