After hiking to the summit of North Star mountain (also known as Kimberley Alpine resort mountain), the next natural step is to begin the descent. Instead of tracing our steps back downward, the plan was

We finally made it to the top of North Star Mountain, also known as Kimberley Alpine ski resort. The “final stretch” of the hike took us to the club house, where we sat down and had a light lunch. For

Non-Snowy Season
You may think that these photos are missing one main element — snow. That is true in the Summertime obviously. I declare that there may be more fun to be had in the non-snowy season than the snowy season!

Mossy Trees
We found some interesting “mossy” trees on our hike up Mother’s Day hill. Very unique actually, something you don’t often come across. Perhaps it is a form of lichen? I certainly am no expert on the matter,

Ridgeline Hiking
Have you ever hiked a mountainous ridgeline? This was my first time up so high, and it was so incredible! In all honesty, this was not planned in advance. We were going hiking as a group and I was along

Obstacles and Goals
A couple more photos from our Mother’s Day hiking camera roll. Sometimes the trail can be blocked with obstacles, kinda like life. Obstacles are there to overcome! Completing hikes is like completing goals

Eye Catching
Here we are on the “Mother’s day” hiking trail, a relatively short and sweet easy hike. Typically when on the trail I’ll come across sometime that is “Eye Catching”. For example in the first photo I

Mother’s Day Hike
We didn’t actually go for a hike on Mother’s Day, however the hike itself is called Mother’s Day trail. The reason for the name is for the plethora of wildflowers to been seen in May and early June. We
