My marathon training schedule showed it was time to run a half marathon. We went to Vancouver Island and ran 21km through stunning coastal rainforest scenery from Tofino to Ucluelet.
Summer flew by! As it rained cats and dogs outside, I sat down to look back through my photo roll and put together a summary of our second summer in Canada.
If you are planning a vacation to Western Canada, please consider a roadtrip through the Canadian Rockies! Let me help you by outlining an example itinerary with some of my personal favourites and recommendations.
We experienced an overnight backpacking hike adventure in honor of a friend’s birthday. Watersprite was without a doubt one of the most beautiful hikes we’ve done. With the company of 16 wonderful people, we had the best time.
By accident, we found a beautiful hiking trail along the Sea to Sky Highway. We enjoyed a super fun 4-hour hike with incredible views over the town of Squamish and the majestic Stawamus Chief.
After dark, gloomy, wet, and terribly busy days, I needed some sunshine and some mountain quality time. Golden Ears Provincial Park was the perfect day out.
The last week of July, we went to Pemberton with our lovely Danish friends. The goal was to hike Joffre Lakes and to make it a relaxing weekend in an Airbnb in Pemberton.
Erik & Aga came to visit from the Netherlands. Meeting in Calgary, we took an incredible 9-day trip through the Canadian Rockies and brought them back to Vancouver.
