Over the coming weeks, I’ll release detailed descriptions of each journey. Stay tuned and join me in exploring the breathtaking hidden corners of British Columbia. Let the adventure begin!
Special Notes
Since the itineraries are announced months in advance, some trips may be subject to cancellation due to unforeseen factors, such as access issues, weather, or insufficient participants. To keep the overall schedule consistent, no additional dates will be added this summer.
All the itineraries and routes were researched and designed by me over the past year and a half, inspired by my personal exploration interests and studies of trails around Vancouver. Although these plans were ready last year, they didn’t happen due to my limited personal network. This year, I’m opening them up to a broader community in hopes of finding more kindred spirits to share the journey.
Since English is not my first language, I used AI tools to help with translation and editing for clarity and readability — but all the ideas, content, and route planning are my own.
Finally, I’m not a professional guide, certified or otherwise. Everyone who joins is ultimately responsible for their own safety and decisions.
