Travel: Mount Tyson
Mount Tyson – one of the most difficult hikes I’ve ever done. Not only was it a full 4 hours, we spent about 3 of those hours going up, and took us about an hour to get down. It’s a workout, that’s for sure! Mount Tyson The sign upon entry mentions that it’s difficult and you should be an experienced bushwalker. This is one of the first times my level of fitness matched the sign. Usually we walk or hike faster than the sign indicates,…

We first checked out this hike on Easter and it took us about 1 hour and 45 minutes. The perfect amount…

Travel: Elk Island Winter Hike
Elk Island winter hike. We’ve been hiking at Elk Island before and even in the winter, yet not with Daph-Daph! This little afternoon was well spent hiking the ~4 km trail called Beaver Pond. No, we didn’t see any beavers, yet we saw some open plains and enjoyed the fresh clean air. Let’s check out these photos! Elk Island Winter Hike One thing that bothers me about Elk Island, and I’d say most hiking trails is that their estimate for the hike is usually far…
