Epic Hikes

Since I like to make lists and I was thinking of them when I was hiking the Blue Lakes on Monday, I thought I would draw up a list of some of the memorable hikes I've enjoyed over the years.

• Kootenay Plains, AB; 1987
• Wood Bison Trail, Elk Island, AB; 1987
• Siffleur Falls, AB; 1988, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2005
• Cape Blomidon, NS; 1992
• Mount Carleton, NB; 1992 & 1994
• Mount Washington, BC; 1995
• Cape Scott, BC; 1995
• Huftarøy, Norway; 1997
• Mont Salève, France; 1997
• Shoreline Trail, Elk Island, AB; 2001
• Moss Lake Trail, Elk Island, AB; 2002
• The Chief, BC; 2005
• Los Tablones, Guatemala; 2006
• Salto de Chilascó, Guatemala; 2006, 2007, 2008
• Mountain in Purulhá, Guatemala; 2007
• Blue Lakes, BC; 2010

My plan is to hike the Appalachian Trail with Blaise when he's 12/13 in 2018 as a rite of passage into manhood (for him, not me). This summer Amber and I are going to do a couple hikes in Waterton. One of my life goals is to summit mountains in 20 countries (so far I have Canada, Norway, and France). I'd also like to hike the West Coast Trail one day.
