Egypt Lakes, 24-29 Jul 2022

29 Nov 20221 Dec 2022 ~ AndyG ~ 3 Comments

Opinion: A stunning area that showcases the grandeur and beauty of the Canadian Rockies, with many beautiful lakes and expansive views, not to mention the sheer profusion of flowers. Allow several days (minimum 3-5) in order to get the most out of exploring this area. Our six-day itinerary is not the easiest, given the big … Continue reading Egypt Lakes, 24-29 Jul 2022

Skoki Valley, 11-13 Sep 2022

4 Nov 20223 Nov 2022 ~ AndyG ~ 7 Comments

Opinion: Wow! How come it took us so long to visit this area? Despite the smoky conditions, which led to a more muted experience, the grandeur and beauty of the Skoki Valley and surroundings was captivating and left us wanting more. I mean, there were huge mountains in all directions and half-a-dozen or so gorgeous … Continue reading Skoki Valley, 11-13 Sep 2022

Well here we are a month later and I've written precisely zero new posts. 🙁 (Actually more than a month if you're being pedantic.) Can I blame it on the fact that we've spent a lot of time being outdoors these past few weeks? Yes, yes I can, and I will! September was indeed a … Continue reading Being Outdoors, October 2022

Being Outdoors, September 2022

9 Sep 20228 Sep 2022 ~ AndyG ~ 6 Comments

I have a huge backlog of posts that I'm writing or at least have written notes for, and it's hard to find the time that I want to devote to them to tell the story of the trip, to find the right photos, to create something I can re-read in years to come and remember … Continue reading Being Outdoors, September 2022

Mount Assiniboine, 15-21 Sep 2019

14 Oct 201918 Jun 2022 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

OpinionWithout doubt one of the best backpacking experiences in BC and the Canadian Rockies, especially at this time of year when the larches turn golden, with easy, mellow hiking and stunning grand vistas. It's tough to get to, requiring 2-days each way for most hikers, and needs another 2-3 days on top of that to … Continue reading Mount Assiniboine, 15-21 Sep 2019

Wilcox Pass, 3 Sep 2012

3 Sep 201216 Nov 2020 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

We did this hike back in 2009 after our Mount Assiniboine trip and, given its superlative rating by the Copelands, we wanted to repeat it and use it as a kind of in-your-face introduction to hiking in the Rockies for Susanne, Brenda, Jeremy, and Gabriela. Our plan was to take a steady drive south along … Continue reading Wilcox Pass, 3 Sep 2012

Mount Robson, 13–18 Sep 2007: Day 6

18 Sep 200722 Feb 2021 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Another beautiful sunny morning saw us packing up our gear for the last time. From there we stopped at the Mount Robson cafe for breakfast (our first coffee in several days!) and more gawping at the mountain. Since it was fairly early in the day we figured we had enough time to do a little … Continue reading Mount Robson, 13–18 Sep 2007: Day 6

Mount Robson, 13–18 Sep 2007: Day 5

17 Sep 200722 Feb 2021 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Our last day of hiking. Another cool overcast day, with cloud hanging low over the lake and Berg glacier. We packed up and had breakfast at the shelter, before one final group photo marked our cue to leave. We started out along the side of the lake and as we reached the Marmot campground at … Continue reading Mount Robson, 13–18 Sep 2007: Day 5

A selection of quieter, atmospheric images taken on my bike rides into work during January. Nothing spectacular but they all speak to me in some way.
A starry Saturday night on Mount Seymour. An afternoon hike saw us catching a hazy sunset from the summit and then being entranced by the stars and planets on show as we made our way back down. We paused awhile at Brockton Point to trace the constellations and take some photos, the best of which is shown here. Or at least part of it: swipe for a different part of the scene and the full photo.
It's all a matter of perspective...
