Hiding in the shadow of the incredible Whistler Blackcomb Resort is this little park that surrounds Lost Lake. Park in Lot 4 or 5 and walk over to Cross Country Connection to rent your snowshoes/cross country skis and buy your trail pass. Make sure to have someone over 19 to sign the waiver. There a...

There are many places to see the Salmon making their yearly return to spawning sites. This year while living on Vancouver Island I could not pass on the chance to marvel at this amazing sight. I decided to head to Stamp River to catch the run and was not disappointed, in fact it was so amazing I rec...

As you begin your journey into Burns Bog Delta Nature Reserve from the parking lot and small trail coming off of Westview Drive, notice the gravel trail ahead of you and across the train tracks that will take you into the bog itself and take a left. After spending a few minutes on the straight trail...

The trailhead to Rummel Lake/Pass is off of Kananaskis Trail (Smith Dorrien Trail) directly across from the turn to Mt. Shark at the south end of Spray Lakes - it will likely be marked by cars attempting the same trail. The trail is well packed and snowshoes aren't even necessary until after Rummel ...

Statlu Lake is a hidden gem in the Harrison area. Start your journey at the Harrison West Forest Service Road. This road is pretty well maintained, and a piece of cake for any 4x4 vehicle but high clearance is always helpful, especially for the last bit of road up the hill to the trailhead. It would...

This short trail leads down to a fantastic viewpoint overlooking the falls. Additionally the trail leads to a beach at the mouth of Begbie Creek. Just above the beach there is a tent pad, picnic table and fire pit for camping. Follow highway 23 south of Revelstoke and turn right on Mt Begbie Rd. Fol...

Prince Edward Island is all about lighthouses, fields, and beaches. The Point Prim Lighthouse was built in 1845. It is the oldest lighthouse on the Island and is the only round lighthouse in Canada built on a brick foundation. To this day, the lighthouse is in great shape and is probably the the pre...

Most of the trail guides you along the river bank in unique forest terrain. If you're an adventure seeker, with summer's lower wate...

I'm probably not qualified to give a thorough description of this route having only done it once, but with the guidebook out of print there isn't a ton of information out there. If possible I would encourage you to find the original guidebook, rather than use this post as a source. Banff Library, an...

Park at the viewpoint for the Crowfoot Glacier, roughly 32 kilometers after turning off Highway 1. It does sometimes get busy so you might end up parking on the side of the road. From the parking lot head southwest, there is almost always a skin track here. No skin track? Freshies! YAY! After a shor...

Just off Hwy 60, the Lookout Trail parking lot is clearly marked. The trail is a fairly simple trip with a constant up-hill trail. Along the way there are many large bolders that will capture your attention. At the top of the cliff there is a wide viewing area clear of trees and brush to allow you t...

Beginning at the trailhead, the trail to the river twists and turns and switches back until you reach the bottom of the waterfalls. Then, you can continue up the hill (pick some blueberries on the way!) until you reach the peak. At the top there is a small pool perfect for swimming.

McTavish Lake can only be accessed by flying in from Missinipe at Osprey Wings to a lodge called Reel North Outfitters . The flight is approximately 20 minutes in a float plane.

Shortly a...

If you are looking for the perfect snowshoe adventure you've found the right place. St. Marks is located on Cypress Mountain. It is more difficult than the nearby Hollyburn, and sometimes inaccessible due to heavy snow. For those two reasons makes it the most secluded hike just minutes from downtown...
