Chadsey Lake Loop
November 25, 2025 - Abbotsford Stats: 12.8 km / 727m gain / 690m high point / 4:35 hours MT This was a slower solo hike on Sumas Mt. I've been nursing a bad back for the past 3 weeks and tomorrow I fly to Chili to hike the world reknown W-trek + Fitz Roy. So I thought I'll stay more mindful of my body as I hiked alone, so as not to strain my spine. It can be too tempting to keep up with the rest of the gang when I'm out with them. Although I missed the camaraderie. This was

Bear Mt.
November 4, 2025 -- Harrison Hot Springs Stats: 18 km / 1049m gain / 1082m high / 5:10 hours MT A record-breaking group of 30 came out for this not-too-strenuous but longer hike on a beautiful autumn day.

Elk-Thurston-Gloria Crossover
October 30, 2025 -- Chilliwack Stats: 19.9 km / 1607m gain / 1875m loss / 1590m highest point / 8 hours MT This hike was a true test of endurance. Therefore I opted to go with the more relaxed paced group of 5 that started at the Elk Mt. trailhead. The other group of 7 started at the Gloria Mt trailhead which is 255m lower than Elk's trailhead. We ended up meeting eachother in the middle of the Thurston - Gloria connecting trail which is where we swapped keys. Brigitte's sta

Nicomen Peak
October 21, 2025 -- Mission Stats: 17 km / 1348m gain / 1243m high / 6:15 hours MT I changed my mind. I had posted this hike as challenging. I think it's actually very challenging. I rarely get sore leg muscles but I did after this one. Why? Because it's very steep, going almost straight up with very little in the way of switchbacks. Add to that the fact that it was wet and slippery. But it was nice to see the trail was more trampled and defined. Last time I did it was in Ap
