Top 10 of the ’10s

20 Feb 202018 Feb 2020 ~ AndyG ~ 3 Comments

Inspired by a blog post on The Hiking Life I found myself sifting through the list of hikes from the past decade and pondering which would make my own top ten. In that time, we have been on about 370 hikes to around 230 different destinations. It sounds like a big task to whittle 230 … Continue reading Top 10 of the ’10s

Opinion An excellent scenic hike with great (albeit distant) views of familiar peaks that requires relatively little effort – except when breaking trail in fresh snow. The downside is that it's expensive. Still, it's well worth doing as part of a summer of hiking the Whistler and Blackcomb trails to make full use of a … Continue reading Decker Tarn, 28 Sep 2019

Looking forward to the summer hiking season and following the lifecycle of my favourite flowers, such as Western anemone, from pushing up through the snow to its fluffy finale.
Mountain reflections - a handful of nice views from 2022 seen in the South Chilcotins and the Canadian Rockies.
Those brief moments of golden sunshine make the hike all the more worthwhile.
Last weekend was a long weekend (at least for some of us) and of course the weather lived up to its reputation, giving us a sunny day on Tuesday. But there was a short window of fine weather on Saturday afternoon and we made a beeline for Hollyburn Mountain to catch the views.
A selection of recent beach scenes that make me glad to live by the sea, all taken within the past week.
Happy Mountain Monday! A selection of mountain photos from our trip to Garibaldi Lake a few weeks ago.
