She is recovering from a bad bike accident and her hands & elbow are still healing …(ouch) It has a long approach 7.5km to Bourgeau Lake where you can...

I was back in Banff to visit my friends last week and decided to hit a few peaks while there. Mt Temple is the highest peak in the Lake Louise area, new snow the day before was going to make it a little slick but decided to go for it, since the forecast looked perfect! The most dangerous part...

After spending 8 days in Chamonix and our attempt on Mont Blanc I still had 2 weeks left of my vacation in the Alps. I figured it would be hard to beat our climb up the Mer De Glace to Mont Blanc but it was just an amazing continuation of my adventure in the Alps. Arm dropped me off at the Mont...

Plans were to join Garry for a trip to Baxter for Memorial Weekend...but weighing the options (Holiday traffic, trails closed), decided to change plans and hit the VT peaks which were all new for me. Garry had hiked them before but was fine with joining me. ;) Left Keene Sat AM and drove right...

I met Frodo, neighbor dave and Hamtero at Lincoln Woods for a 7:30ish start out to Bonds in hopes of meeting Mats & Gillian's groups for their Winter finishes. We had a few ditches to cross which made it a little challenge...especially for ones like me who haven't x-country skied in...
