Comments on: Golden Ears Bridge http://twodinks.com/2008/11/24/golden-ears-bridge/ random musings from Joe, Dave, and friends Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:27:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: other Dave http://twodinks.com/2008/11/24/golden-ears-bridge/comment-page-1/#comment-6061 other Dave Wed, 26 Nov 2008 15:22:32 +0000 http://twodinks.com/?p=652#comment-6061 My bad, I had read the account on the link, a form of "Aeries". Just seems like an unusual name and stuff like that always fascinates me. It's interesting when people take the time and effort to name something, then let the origin of the name fall into legend. Thanks for the help Joe and other Jim. My bad, I had read the account on the link, a form of “Aeries”. Just seems like an unusual name and stuff like that always fascinates me.

Supposedly in the bright sun, the peaks glow gold. I've never seen it. You can see the Golden Ears from our neighborhood. It's a provincial park with hiking, horseback riding, camping, etc. There's also Alouette lake, which allows power boats, and a number of rivers and streams. The park is about a 20 minute drive from our house. “Golden Ears” refers to Mount Blanchard’s twin peaks. Supposedly in the bright sun, the peaks glow gold. I’ve never seen it.

There are several explanations for the origin of the term “Golden Ears.” By one local account, "Golden Ears" is a modification of “Golden Aeries”, referring to the nests of the eagles that thrive on Canada’s Pacific coast." Or they could be those big things of fried dough you get at the state fair, I guess. Sorry--you didn't specify who you wanted to do the explainin'. I'm guessing it wasn't me. “The Golden Ears peaks look down on the bridge from the north.
