Marriott Basin - Hike, scramble and camping

I did this hike with three good friends. We had originally set our eyes on Illal Meadows, north of Hope. But had to come up with a new plan do to forrest fires. The choice landed on Marriott Basin, which turned out to be one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.

The Howe Sound Crest Trail - 2021 edition

Third time on this trail. It’s an absolute beauty, which is probably the main reason I keep coming back every year. This time around I was hiking it with my good friend Stepan. It was his first time on the trail and also his first time backpacking (at least for real), so we planned two nights.

The Howe Sound Crest Trail - 2020 edition

This is my second trip along the Howe Sound Crest Trail. Did the first trip in October 2018, so I was looking forward to doing it again. The hike turned out completely different due to wildfire smoke from the states, drastically changing the views along the trail.

Hiking the Sunshine Coast Trail

I did this hike in mid/end of August as a replacement for the West Coast Trail that is closed this season due to Covid-19. We ended up just being two people as the rest of the crew bailed. Probably due to the suboptimal weather report, promising heavy rain most of the time we were going be on the trail.
