Come Hike With Me!

I'm lucky to live surrounded by our beautiful BC mountains!

Hiking has always been a favourite past time for me! I'm not a "hard-core" hiker, but I love getting out into the trees, or if I'm lucky, to get out into the alpine with a friend! This beautiful hike is close by and this was the first time I hiked it during the summer. I have to admit, I prefer it during the fall, but we had a lovely morning up in the alpine for sure.

We left bright and early because it's been HOT here! We wanted to beat the heat and I'm so glad we did because there was also a steady stream of people heading up as we were heading back out. Another reason I prefer the fall.

I LOVE this beautiful purple heather. There were patches with white heather mixed in as well. So beautiful. My favourite part of hiking in the alpine are the wild flowers and when you can see snow on the mountains still. It always adds colour and dimension to the view.

When I'm hiking, I usually bring Matcha mixed with Electrolyte Boost as this helps provide me with natural energy from the matcha and since I usually sweat my ass off, I like to replace my electrolytes and stay hydrated with this combo.

I'll bring another water bottle of plain water for longer hikes too. I brought both along for this hike. I'ts not a super long hike, but since it's been so hot out, I wanted to be sure I had lots of fluids with me.

A friend was joking around with me after another hike we did that 15 minutes is usually tacked on when I'm along because I stop and take so many pictures. LOL. But I honestly can't help myself. I love my pictures and I love the scenery......soooo....15 extra minutes it is. I hope you enjoyed the pictures! I'll be doing this one again in the fall as that's my favourite time to do this one and hiking in general. I have to admit, the bugs and heat in the summer makes it my least favourite time to get out there. But I still manage to do beautiful outings like this one!!
