This Enchanted Forest Will Make You Feel Like an Ant
Cathedral Grove is an ancient forest that is home to giant douglas fir and western red cedar trees. These mammoths are some of the oldest trees on Vancouver Island, yet they are very accessible from a short boardwalk trail, just off the highway. As a result, this is a must-do hike for anybody travelling between Victoria and Tofino or Ucluelet. I hope that you enjoy this short video!

Hiking the Pacific Rim Traverse Along Sandy Beaches

The Pacific Rim Traverse hiking trail begins on Vancouver Island near Ucluelet and traces north along many different sandy beaches towards Tofino. This point-to-point trail offers great opportunities to see wildlife including bears and bald eagles, as well as the rugged and unique pacific beaches of BC's Pacific Rim National Park.

Avalanche Safety Training AST2 Ski Trip at Ymir Hut in the Kootenays
มุมมอง 1302 ปีที่แล้ว
In January, my buddy and I flew into Kelowna and drove down to Nelson for a 5-day Avalanche Safety Training Level 2 (AST2) course with Peak Stratagem. From Nelson, we took a heli southeast to Ymir Lodge in the Kootenays. That served as our base camp as we ski toured for 4 days while improving and practising our skills for safe travel in avalanche terrain. On the 5th and final day, we drove to K...
Another Shoe Sacrificed to the Bog 🥾 | Backpacking the Algonquin Western Uplands Trail
มุมมอง 412 ปีที่แล้ว
On the June 25-26th weekend, I joined two friends on their backpacking trip to the Algonquin Western Uplands Trail, Ontario. We enjoyed clear skies and warm lakes on our hike, although my one buddy's shoe enjoyed the boggy lowlands a bit too much... It was a member of our party's first backpacking trip and Site #4 on Pincher Lake was his home for the night with Dan's borrowed gear. The campsite...
Overnight at Stormhaven on the Bruce Peninsula
มุมมอง 1.4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
We drove into Tobermory then backpacked Bruce Peninsula National Park from West to East and platform camped on Georgian Bay at Stormhaven (SH2). The forecast called for rain on both Saturday and Sunday, but we lucked out and enjoyed the sun on day one. We only got rain on the first evening once we were comfortable in our tents. On day two, the clouds lingered and we saw the peninsula from a glo...

    is it OK to cook on that open fire? (i'm not familiar with your cooking method with the liquid fuel) is it a potential fire hazard or legal? What are you cooking with? I am planning a trip there and don't know anything about lightweight cooking methods.

    i have been trying to plan this exact hike! from niagra through to tobermory but i cannot figure out a way around the camping situation, everyone tells me that i cannot camp along the way..if you still are on this account could you please tell me how you did it ? or suggest what i could do.thanks in advance :)

    • @BorealTrails
      @BorealTrails 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey there! The camping situation is tricky not just because there aren't enough overnight rest areas, but due to lack of water if you get hot weather. You can try stealth camping if you practice strict Leave No Trace principles. There are also some paid campgrounds along the way such as Hope Bay (the owners are friendly). Finally, if you're in a pinch, try the CouchSurfing app. The good news is the Bruce Trail Conservancy intends to put more effort into making it friendlier for thru-hikers: www.guelphtoday.com/local-news/bruce-trail-aiming-to-be-thru-hikeable-by-2030-ceo-8417865 I hope this helps!

    Hey great video, did you find the bootleggers caves near cave point? (Not on any trail map) our family has hiked halway log dump to the grotto before and missed them not realizing they are there. Going to take my daughter on her first backcountry camping trip to stormhaven this year and hope to find them this time around.

      Not all stick bugs can fly but for the species that can, they rarely do fly. The good news is that they're harness to humans! 😅
