'Tis the season for pumpkins, snowy peaks and embarrassing my dog with silly pics. #adoptdontshop Frosted mountain peaks and colourful trees. There's something so magical about the change of seasons. 🍂 It is a very sad time for backcountry lovers. It's crazy how things can just vanish in an instant. With our town becoming busier than ever, we experience more traffic, not only on the roads and the mountain, but also in the backcountry trails. Social media is a treasure map to all the hidden gems, attracting a lot of nature amateurs and visitors lacking of knowledge and common sense. We've seen pristine lakes littered, wildlife disturbed, and now a beloved cabin burnt. It’s not just a cabin that turned into ashes, it’s all the memories it held for 25 years. It’s a sad time, but our community is tight and another will be built, and other memories will be created. This time though I hope new visitors will find in their heart appreciation and respect, so we can all share our not-so-hidden-gems. Wilderness.🌼 Wining, cheesing, three wheeling, and finding cool cabins. #girlsnight 💅👯 Can't wait for my knee to get stronger and hike to beautiful places like this one. 💙 A year ago, on a cool Tuesday of September, @mel_elm and I laced up our boots, lifted heavy backpacks on our backs, and began our 7-day journey onto the West Coast Trail... The coastal trail had humbled me. I was brought into the flow of life, embracing the immense beauty and magic of each moment. I had pushed myself further that I’ve gone before, and discovered a strength within that assured me that I could achieve anything I set my mind to. The WCT reminded me the importance of setting ourselves goals, pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone, challenging ourselves to take one more step, running when we can’t walk anymore. By physically and mentally pushing ourselves, we discover that pain and exhaustion lead to incredible feelings of joy and success. Life is about choosing our own path, taking risks, embracing uncertainty, taking the unpredictable turn, falling down, getting up, and never giving up when the road gets tough. We are stronger and greater than we think, and are capable of anything we set ourselves for. As long as we keep moving forward. As long as we have the right mindset and are not afraid to cross the creek and get wet. To view the whole video, click link in bio.👊 I'd walk anywhere with you.🐾 Home is where the cabin is. And the wine, where the wine is too. Wild wanderings in wild places. @wildtribe.ca Peace is always beautiful. Rainy and colder days remind me that travelling season is approaching! It's time to start preparing the next big adventure... ✈️
