Al’s Habrich ridge trail – Squamish

Al’s Habrich ridge trail – Squamish

The lovely Al’s Habrich ridge trail is a continuation from our previous hike on the Sea to Summit trail in Squamish. So, we’d woken up early and already hiked 8km and 850m before this hike starts.

The Emerald Lake Loop is the perfect place for…

We’re not silly enough to attempt an Alpine hike during a blizzard, so we decided to spend a day exploring the town of Banff. We found so many fun things to see, that I’d like to share my list of things to do in Banff in the snow. This would all be…
