After many a switchback, the trail led us to our campground. Floe Lake may just be one of my most favourite campgrounds to date. The turquoise lake glittered in the afternoon sun, a tantalising invitation to jump into its icy waters after a hot day of hiking. Here are my favourite moments from three days in the Rockwall, Kootenay National Park.

On Saturday, August 5th, myself and 7 others took part in the first High Angle Photography Clinic with Eva Capozzola. One of the many great community initiatives supported by Arc’teryx Alberta as part of Go Climb Week, this clinic allowed us to learn how to safely set up rigs to produce climbing photography.

Here lies a lengthy post from our backcountry camping trip to Skoki Valley. A trip planned since the end of January with our friends Brit & Sam, we ended up going without them on account of the fact Brit got accepted into a grad program at a university in Toronto. I wrote more about that here.

A collection of images from camping weekends in July. I cherish these days and nights outdoors—sleeping in a tent next to waterfalls, reading in a softly-rocking hammock, having fireside conversations and reconnecting, once more, to the real essence of what it means to be human.

From our Saturday ice climbing with Colour The Trails. After climbing on rock and plastic for the last 6 or 7 years, I was thrilled to get out on the ice for the first (but not the last) time.⁠

Moments from camp, our day hike to yet another glacier, and an icy swim in a lake. This is Part 2 of a two-part series documenting my weekend outdoors with Colour The Trails Alberta.

A hike on a glacier with total strangers, now my friends. This is Part 1 of a two-part series documenting my weekend outdoors with Colour The Trails Alberta.

In finding myself in active or outdoor spaces on a regular basis, I have noticed how there are fewer people of colour (especially women of colour) sharing these spaces with me, especially in the predominantly white mountain town where I live.
