This was our first time hiking Little Lougheed. It was a challenging trail given the winter conditions and as a result we fell 200 meters short of the summit.
This was the first fall/winter shoulder season hike and it was a bit tricky with a few cms of snow covering about 2 km of the trail in the creekbed.
West Wind Pass was a short stroll on a magical day with the sun and cloud interspersed on the snow-covered mountains.
McGillivray Canyon is a short hike but somewhat impassable now that they have taken the ropes and ladders out of the creekbed.
The Boulder Fields is an incredibly unique area in the hills above Kelowna that is reputed to be the top bouldering area in the country.
Evan-Thomas is not a tough hike from an elevation standpoint but it requires some tricky maneuvering through the canyon to get to the Green Monster ice fall.
Buller Pass is typically a moderate winter outing but on this day we got into some soft snow that required major post-holing efforts.
The Haffner Creek ice falls are an amazing spectacle that is only a short hike in from Highway 93 in Kootenay National Park.
Mount Yamnuska is one of the most challenging hikes especially with the icy conditions we encountered however it is super fun.
Commonwealth Creek is a relatively mild hike under normal conditions but on this day the knee-deep snow in the upper meadow put our lead mules to the test.
