History Note: This hike commemorates 13 passengers of three different air crafts that went down in the region in 1986. The first was a passenger plane, and the second two were search and rescue aircraft. There is a plaque at the top of the hike to commemorate the lives that were lost. Take Hwy. 40 a...

The most direct route is to start at the Wedgemount trail head parking lot and ride up the Logging road to approximately the 4.5 KM mark. The trail starts out smooth and flowy through some old forest. Lots of great corners and no particularly technical sections. The trail then takes a complete chang...

Crossing the Riverview bridge from Moncton, take a right onto Coverdale Rd and follow that road until you reach Rte 885, (or as we like to say: at the second church - about a 15 minute drive). Take a hard left and follow Rte 885 for about 25 minutes. Turn left on Prosser Brook Rd for about 5.3 km, t...

Bijoux Falls is a lovely tiered waterfall right along side highway 97N. It's a great place to stop and take a break to stretch the legs no matter which direction you are heading. This provincial park, nestled among the western edge of the Canadian Rockies, has a fair amount of parking and no hiking ...

Form Terrace, drive south for approx., 14 km along Highway 37 to Gruchy’s Beach day use area. The beach is accessed by an easy 1 km trail that follows along Williams Creek through and old growth forest. The trail has a number of boardwalks and nice views of the creek, which can provide sights of Sal...

If 'glamping' is more your style, Riverside Campground is the place. Located within walking distance of Whistler Village, this 40 acre camping area has everything from riverside tent sites to cozy cabins and yurts. A deluxe RV area that’s open year round, amazing views, and a yummy café round out Ri...

The trialhead is found on West Side Road on the west side of Spray Lakes Resevoir. In winter, West Side Road is closed to vehicles due to dogsled tours, but is still open to walking - it's a pretty neat experience to get passed by a dozen sled dog teams. Since the road is closed, it adds an extra ki...

Heather Mountain is a moderate well marked out and back hike through managed forest land. The hike brings a wonderful feeling of solitude as there are no towns or buildings visible even with distant views in all directions. It is also quite lightly tracked: we saw no other hikers on the entire route...

The trail starts on a gravel road going up towards a water tower. A doubletrack trail takes off to the right and up the hill as you near the water tower. Take the this trail and this can be followed all the way up to the red rock view point. There are several, steeper, narrower trails branching off ...

Oh, small but mighty Norquay! You might not hear as much about this gem as you do its larger siblings in the area, but don’t underestimate its charm or gnarly terrain. While we couldn’t quite access all of the nooks and crannies at the beginning of the season, old-timers regaled us with tales compar...

Parking is clearly marked and visible from the Haines Highway, 7 km south of Haines Junction. This trail is reasonably easy and although it does not reach any summit, it offers great views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Haines Junction. When you reach the highest point of the trail you can c...

Just a short drive up the Sea to Sky Highway is one of my favorite hikes near Vancouver. There are two options; the hike to first peak or the hike to second and third peak. Second Peak brings you to an epic view over Sqawmish, the first peak of the Chief, the Sea to Sky Highway, and the Pacific Ocea...

The sea caves are one of the main (if not the main) attractions in the small coastal town of St. Martins. They are free to visit and are located at the far end of the village where you can easily spot them from the road. Park in the restaurant parking lot or leave your car by the side of the road, b...

As a whole, Tombstone Territorial Park boasts a stunning and at times alien landscape but, the Rake Mountain area is particularly beautiful. Park you vehicle at the turn off near kilometer 90 (there is a sign) of the Dempster Highway. Orient yourself northwest towards the small saddle in Rake Mounta...

Accessible from downtown Victoria, The Breakwater at Ogden Point makes a fun, easy-access shore-dive. I've been freediving here a couple times now and have loved it each time. You can access the granite stepping blocks by a staircase on the left side (if you're facing the water) of The Breakwater. W...

Park at the "Siffleur Falls Trail Staging Area" parking lot on the east side of the highway. From there you will need to carefully cross the highway to the West side. The waterfall is visible from the highway. There is a gated road that you will walk up. The land on the West side of the highway is a...
