Atlin B.C.

by Dylan in Day Trips, Featured, Welcome on September 29, 2011

Atlin is so far my favourite small town. 175km south of Whitehorse down a rough gravel road Atlin is a bit of a challenge to get to, but well worth the trip. The people are super friendly. I was thinking maybe it was because they never see any new faces, but regardless they are awesome. In 1899 Atlin became one of the off shoots of ...

2 O’Clock Ridge Win!

by Dylan in Day Trips, Featured, Welcome on June 2, 2011

I always have an adventure on May long weekend. Last year I attempted The Whitehorse Pass in Jasper with a few friends. We started hiking at night and it started snowing like crazy. By 3 in the morning we decided to stop trudging through 2 feet of snow and we set up camp. We didn’t even make it the 7 km in to our first campsite, ...

Super Intense Climbing Kids! (S.I.C.K.)

by Dylan in Day Trips, Featured, Welcome on March 30, 2011

If you know me then you’ll know that I love to climb. I’ve been climbing steadily for the past three years and as I’ve said many times I really believe it’s what keeps me sane during the long Canadian winter. Not only is it a good thing to do to ponder and meditate about life. I’ve also found it to be a great social experience as well. ...

Memoirs of the West Coast Trail

by Matt in Backpacking, Featured on March 3, 2011

"God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December." - J. M. Barrie As I sit wishing the Canadian winter wasn't quite as cold, my mind wanders back about six years to when I hiked the West Coast Trail with my two best friends. It started as a road trip to the island. When I told my Mom about it, she suggested hiking the West ...

Two O’Clock Fail

by Matt in Day Trips, Featured on February 2, 2011

Sometimes the mountain just gets the best of you. Dylan and I were climbing at the rock gym a few weeks ago and decided that it was high time for us to get to the mountains. Therefore, we made it a priority, set a date, and, when the appointed time came, packed into Dylan's Saturn and drove until we made it to the Rockies. As has become ...

Top Secret

by Dylan in Day Trips, Featured on January 22, 2011

I’m going to give you a sneak-peek into one of my most favourite places on earth. It’s a top secret location and I’ll only tell you where it is if you come with me. I think I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves. My Dad is an aircraft maintenance engineer, and on this particular trip I was lucky enough to get a free helicopter ride in ...

The Great White North

by Dylan in Day Trips, Featured on January 17, 2011

In Edmonton, like in many places we just got a royal dumping of snow. Many people have expressed their “disaffection” for the snow and the cold. I however, am not one of those people. Living north of the 53rd parallel for the better part of my existence, I have come to really appreciate the snow and the cold. Maybe it’s my love of the outdoors that has pushed me to enjoy ...
