Peak Ascent was established by those who live to adventure and wish to share their stories. Adventur
Peak Ascent's story started like many great adventures do... A group of friends getting together, shooting the s**t and sharing some brews. Peak Ascent came to life around the one idea of creating an adventurous travel community. A group that wasn't focused on solely one persons journey, but everyone's. It's a place where people from all over the world can link up, showcase the the cool s**t they
do, and even organize a meet up! A place to welcome people on a hike, or what ever the adventure may be.
bound! See y’all on the farm!

Our trip to Elk Falls was an incredible one! I’ve always found myself so comfortable around water, the double rainbow was a bonus 😉🌈🌈

Oh Canada! 🍁🌲.
Weekend wedding crashing on Vancouver Island! Of course we had to sneak in a little side adventure to Campbell River’s suspension bridge!
Cheers!

@ Campbell River, British Columbia
In a month I’ll be finished working here in Colombia and onto the next adventure. This country is charming and beautiful and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to experience the Latin America vibe with beautiful countryside all around you!
Cheers!

An interesting hike over giant boulders up into the jungle takes you to an archeological site similar to the much larger site referred to as the Lost City which is a 5 day trek nearby.
There is a native village in Tayrona park that continues to live they way they always have. They are actually the ones responsible for taking care of the park and every year the park is closed for the month of February to allow for both human and natural repairs to take place.
Unfortunately the villagers aren’t exactly fond of tourists... so we didn’t spend much time in the village.

@ Tayrona Natural Park
All along Tayrona there are beautiful beaches, each slightly different. Some have calm water, some reef and huge fish to explore with a snorkel, while others have large wave breaks and undertow that make swimming quite dangerous. There is even a n**e beach if that suits your fancy (photos not included...).

@ Tayrona Natural Park
Another iconic national park in Colombia is Tayrona National Park on the Caribbean Coast. The park is a cool mix of thick jungle and beautiful beaches. Compared to Cocuy is a lot easier to get to. The entrance is one hour outside of the City of Santa Marta and the bus fair is under $3.

@ Tayrona Natural Park
After the climb we were rewarded with this bizarre ecosystem. A giant slab of rock, dotted with little pools of water and Espeletias (aka frailejones). Which are actually part of the sunflower family, and are found in Venezuela,
Colombia, and Ecuador.
However we were also rewarded with gale like winds and horizontal rain... we were in the cloud at this point so the visibility was garbage and we couldn’t see anything past the 50m of rock in front of us. At 4700m (15,400 ft) is was hard to breath and I couldn’t feel my forehead, hands, or feet anymore from the wind and rain. Needless to say we were pretty miserable out there. We ended up turning back without being able to see Púlpito Del Diablo which would have been the highlight of the hike. Unfortunately Mother Nature didn’t feel like sharing that day...

Normally, I love rock scrambles like this one!!! But at 4,400m (14,450ft) this was quite a struggle. I was having to stop and catch my breath every 10-15m...

El Cocuy National Park is a fickle one. Years ago it was famous for a 7 day backpack you could do throughout the whole park. However the park decided people weren’t treating it with enough respect and closed the park indefinitely. A few years later the park re-opened with some new large changes in place. Now there are only three set day hikes to take, and you must be accompanied by a guide.
We woke up at 3am to hopefully beat the clouds that come onto the mountains mid day. But as you can see, the blue sky was behind us, and the clouds were already waiting for us ahead...

@ El Cocuy National Park
This past weekend I made it to the mountain town of El Cocuy. It’s a quiet little town, all painted green and white with clay tile roofs and cobblestone streets. The bus ride here however was not so tranquil... 11 hours through the night on washed out curvy switch back roads, with areas that were half covered by fresh land slides, and other areas where the road disappeared and the bus drove across the creek bed. We discovered once we arrived that the road had been closed for 7 hours the previous day due to the dangerous landslides.

@ Cocuy, Boyaca, Colombia
Playa Blanca just outside of Cartagena is a popular spot to lay back, relax, and soak up some sunshine. Beaches are also one of my favourite places to spin poi while walking a gorgeous sunset!
I wasn’t able to get a photo, but nearby is a place where they have bioluminescent plankton! You can go on a tour for less than $10, they take you to the area and you can jump in the water and splash around causing the water to light up! Highly recommend it!

Watch as these talented men molds globs of molten glass into beautiful pieces of crystal! Down on the Halifax wharf you can see the whole process; blowing, shaping, sanding, and etching of the beautiful Nova Scotian crystal which has been made here since 1996. Each piece is crafted by no less then 10 men. A true art form. Photo Credit: @hfath Want to be featured? 👉 Tag us @peakascent or send us a DM.

Was it just me or did the river seem extra busy this year? A trip to cool off in the water is a MUST when it's that hot out. Some of my favourite moments at #Shambhala were spent in this river!

The new layout at #pagoda this year really opened up the dance floor by removing the side-stage walkways. Everything felt much more open and the extra room made it much easier to dance when everyone was packed into the area for a popular DJ!
