If you have time and hands to help! Happening this weekend

A call to volunteers! Join us Saturday September 28th to brush out the winter trail to Murray Cabin, lunch provided by the ski club!
Have you ever been lost on the winter trail to Murray Cabin? No idea where the winter trail is but want to find out? Or do you want to help improve the ski out? This is your chance!
We will meet in the parking lot at the junction of highway 97 and the Barkerville highway at 8:15, leaving at 8:30. A little over an hour drive to the trailhead. Wear work clothes and bring work gloves, we will be removing fallen logs, trimming back shrubs and pruning trees to re-open the winter trail up Yellowhawk creek. Lunch will be provided for volunteers, so please respond to this call so we have an idea of how many lunches are needed, as well as any dietary needs you may have.
Bring whatever brushing tool you feel most comfortable with, and free hands to move trimmed branches will always be needed too! Volunteer as long or as short as you are able to.
There will be a brush saw, pole pruning saw and 2 chainsaws from the ski club. Those wishing to operate power equipment will need to demonstrate safe use and bring personal protective gear.

Hope to see you there!

We like to wander about Prince George...week day evening outings have been our go to since the beginning (2020, you might remember that year)

These outings are all within city limits, an hour and a half at the most and a great way to discover new trails and meet new adventure friends. These week day adventures have built this community and many that started out joining us for an hour are now taking on overnight backpacking trips.

Everyone welcome...next in town adventure is Wednesday October 2, 6pm - sawmill trail, all the info can be found on the website under club adventures.

Cost - FREE.... we want to continue to build and support an outdoor community within PG, so there is no cost for club adventures. Hoping by removing this barrier more people can get outside and be part of this beautiful adventure community.

As guides we use many tools for trip planning and looking at different weather apps and models is something that becomes obbesive. In the winter it really matters because we are looking for weather changes or avalanche risks that could have big consequences.

But most of the time.......just pack your rain jacket no matter what the weather forecast says 😂🙌

The days are cooling down- but the itch for adventure sure isn't! You might be sweating at the trailhead but there's a fair chance you'll soon be running into snow in the alpine.

So now is a great time to go through your hiking pack, add an extra layer, check you have spare batteries for your head lamp, and ensure you have all the supplies needed to hunker down safely overnight in chillier temps if needed.

As always don't forget to leave a trip plan.

Happy *almost* Fall Hiking! 🍂🍁🥾

🥾 ANNOUNCEMENT 🥾

More adventure!? We think that's the perfect way to head into this last bit of 2024!

We have been so fortunate to build and establish this guiding company over the past four years up in Northern BC & now we are so excited to EXPAND!

Adventures will now be run in both Northern BC & the Okanagan. Just like the North we run adventures in near by communities and try to explore as much of beautiful British Columbia as we possibly can. So this means guided hikes, backcountry camping, tours, getaways within the Okanagan as well as regions near us like the Kootenays, the Coast and wherever our boots take us.

While we work to get Winter and 2025 adventures planned out we will be hosting some meet and greet local Okanagan wanders. So please share this post, tag your Okanagan peeps and come join us for a super casual, in town wander and come find out if we are the crew for you!

Stay posted to our socials for all the up to date info!

We have big news to share and this has us reminiscing through 4 years of photos..sooo many memories. So much gratitude for the people that we have met through this. For the kindness, love, laughter, support.

We started during a pandemic and have changed, slowed down, sped up, grown and evolved. We have had failure's, roadblocks and many learnings. But more than anything we have built a community. This community is everything to us. The people that make up this adventure crew are now life long friends & we will look back at a life time of adventures with all the people we have met through this company.

There are way more than 20 photos that need to be shared so another picture filled post to follow!

Club wander tonight took place on our Ospika Backcountry trail. We usually do this trail in the winter as you get amazing city light views coming out. But it is equally beautiful at this time of year! It was a wild jungle with everything bursting to life, so much green space right within the city 😍

Next club event - Tuesday August 20th, Eena Lake Paddle (weather permitting)

Enjoying every moment, making the most out of sweet summer.
