I guess I missed “Random Friday” by a day. So we’ll call it Random Saturday this time. What did you get up to this week? Anything special or fun? I just got back from British Columbia tonight, did four

Today the plan was to do something easier than yesterday's hike to Fairy Falls. Moyie Falls is located about 20 minutes west of Cranbrook, British Columbia. In order to get there one must use a gravel

Here is a video of today's epic hike to Fairy Falls, Fernie, British Columbia. The trailhead was conveniently located beside the visitor centre in Fernie. It took only about forty five minutes to hike

This is Fisher Peak, as seen from the top of Mother’s Day Hill. Mount Fisher is one of the toughest mountains to climb in the East Kootenay vicinity, rated as a “difficult” hike. The mountain is approximately

Here we are on top of the world! Or at least on top of Mother’s Day hill, East Kootenay, British Columbia. It took approximately an hour and a half or so to hike up to this lookout point. The river flowing

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

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

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

It’s Friday, September 18th and we are just four days away from the official start of Fall! Summer is pretty much wrapped and in the bag now. Arguably, Fall is my favourite season of the bunch. The leaves

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

As we walk through the forest, here in Cranbrook, British Columbia, careful not to step on one of these giant fallen acorns! As cool as they may be, you don’t want to twist your ankle. Anyways, it is only

Let’s take a walk through the Community Forest, here in Cranbrook, British Columbia (or should I say a “Meander” through the forest). What a great thing to have, a nice forest with winding trails on the

This will be my final post on the incredible Lake Louise, one of Canada’s most famous lakes and ski resorts. Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall, this is a place that never disappoints. Just behind the Fairmont

Looking out at Lake Louise it was still in an unfrozen state, but just to our right side was a completely frozen waterfall! How does that happen you might ask? Well I’m no scientist, but obviously a larger

A few more clicks from our trip out to Lake Louise, Alberta last year. Off in the distance you can see the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Zoom in even closer and ski runs are visible as well. Banff National

At this point, we had reached the far end of Lake Louise. There was a group of teens playing what looked to be touch football (in the snow), or at least something like that! Because why not? What could

Today's hike took me to Lake O'Hara. This is considered the "Jewel" of Yoho National Park, British Columbia. For this hiking experience, you need to take a shuttle to the lake (or hike up 11

Today's hike was the most extreme hike I have ever done! This one really stretched my limits. First of all, me and heights don't get along so well, but our group of four managed to hike to the ridgeline

Today brought me to a hike in the Columbia valley, and the trailhead was located part way between Radium and Golden, British Columbia. The hike itself was relatively short and easy (which was a bonus).

Here we are nearing the far side of Lake Louise; what an incredible hike/nature walk it was. Zero elevation gain/loss made for an easy peezy go of it. I can’t get over how much different this place looks
