I’d heard of Tofino before we came to Vancouver but I didn’t know much about it. While living in Vancouver so many people told me they’ve just got back from a weekend there or that I should go because the beaches are beautiful. So that’s what we decided to do over the Canadian Thanksgiving long…
The Garibaldi Lake hike in Whistler stands out as one of the best hikes I’ve done recently and I’ve done a lot of incredible hikes this year. There were incredible views on our hikes in Arches National Park and our hike into the Grand Canyon itself. Yet it’s this hike to Garibaldi Lake that I…

Vancouver’s Grouse Grind climb is something of an initiation for those new to the city. When Thom met his now colleagues they asked him if he’s taken on the Grouse Grind yet. We hadn’t by that point but made sure to take on the climb to the top of Grouse Mountain the following weekend. If…
