POV: You woke up early in Jasper National Park, ho POV: You woke up early in Jasper National Park, hoping to see sunrise at Maligne Lake. 

The wildfire smoke is pretty bad, it’s foggy, chilly & you’re worried the lake won’t be as vibrant as you’ve dreamt it would be.

Dog Friendly, Hiking Gear · May 17, 2022

Must Have Hiking Gear for you and your pup! Summer 2024.

A little Summer round-up of my current favorite Back Country hiking gear finds for both you and your pup to hit the trail in style. This gear is comfortable and functional all at the same time!

Several of these items I love so much I own them in multiple colors and you’ll see them frequently throughout my blog posts and hiking adventures. The Osprey hydration pack, my absolute favorite Patagonia hat (the lowpro is the best fit IMO), the yeti water bottle AND the Salomon hiking shoes.

My husband and I both rave about the Salomon hiking shoes -they’re literally the best. Love them, they’ve taken me up all 7 fourteeners that I’ve summited.
