On the other end of the couch, she can see Mount Baker as the sun is rising towards Mission. “She sits there and has her coffee in the morning, and from one end of the couch she looks out towards the Golden Ears Bridge. He bought one of the three that are on the property for what he calls his “toys”: a Triumph TR6 and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.įor wife, Barbara, however, it’s all about the view. One of the biggest attractions for Rae was the option of a garage. Other Maple Ridge attractions include the Golden Ears Bridge (for a 45-kilometre trip west to downtown Vancouver), and recreation spots include the Golden Ears Mountains, Alouette Lake, UBC’s Malcolm Knapp Research Forest, Kanaka Creek Park, along with miles of dikes and trails.
