August 1978 — In the 1940’s and 1950’s there were hundreds of cabins like this one beside the trails that crisscrossed Hollyburn Ridge in West Vancouver. They were built before roads led into what is now called Cypress Bowl using materials carried up steep narrow trails on the backs of the owners and their family. You owned the cabin if you built it, which became a problem in the 1970’s when developers wanted to divide up the ridge and sell it. The compromise was making the area into a provincial park but that meant the cabins were no longer tolerated and had to go and gradually most of them did.
