Today was the launch of a new experience at @passpowderkeg, Hike & Dine for $99! I was lucky enough to be part of a trial run last week for this event and it really was the perfect way to close off a busy week. It combines two of my favourite things to do: adventuring in the outdoors and eating! Come on, who doesn’t LOVE that combination? Heather from local guiding company @uplift_adventures takes guests on a hike through some of the Pass Powderkeg trails where you get some pretty awesome views of Blairmore and infamous surrounding mountains like Crowsnest and Turtle. I can’t say the hike is hard, but you’ll probably break a bit of a sweat. It’s ideal for people new to hiking, kids, families, elderly people or just anyone looking to explore the area. After the hike, we enjoyed family-style dinner with lots of conversation and laughs. Oh yeah, and what did we eat? Prime rib steak, chimichurri sauce, truffle potato, and grilled Caesar salad, corn on the cob and asparagus. Little take-home s’mores baggies with a quote by local calligrapher @twohandscreate were the perfect dessert to complement the merry, down-to-earth feel of the evening.

“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” John Muir, a key figure in creating the concept of national parks, certainly knew what he was talking about ... A quick & dirty evening hike up Big Bear. This isn’t quite the peak, but the view out towards the Crowsnest Range is still pretty spectacular ... #hiking #crowsnestpass #gocrowsnest #explorethepass #alberta #travelalberta #southwestalberta #mountains #hike #landscape
Мы не знаем, где и кто нас сожрёт в океане, но cойди на сушу в поисках безопасности – и жизнь твоя вообще утратит смысл ... Beautiful evening doing what I like to call a “quick & dirty” hike up Wedge Mountain. Up and down in about 3 hours 😎 ... #hiking #southwestalberta #gocrowsnest #findyourselfinthepass #crowsnestpass #wedgemountain #mountains #landscape #getoutside #quickanddirty
It’s good to leave the real world behind sometimes, look out at the tiny structures of our walls like an omnipresent god from above. You don’t see the bustle of the quotidian but you know it’s still going on. People conquering the daily grind, choosing between Pop-Tarts and celery, doing laundry. And that makes you realize that LIFE GOES ON. all those problems you thought were insurmountable, the woes you felt overwhelming… Life will go on, with or without you worrying about it. Today is tomorrow’s yesterday. And we’ll be okay. #positivevibes *** First major hike of the season! Good ol’ Turtle Mountain, a classic. With @kendraann89. *** #gocrowsnest #crowsnestpass #hiking #mountains #alberta #southwestalberta #getoutside #moveinmay #fuelledbygenuinehealth
