Martin Ritter and Lorenz MALller's hike the West Coast Trail in six days. Links and photos are included. While planning our dive trip to British Columbia, we were looking for an additional avenue through which to depose of our boundless energy. Remembering the comments about a certain "West Coast Trail", we decided to find some more info regarding this popular hike over the Internet. There we came across a few well written reports and descriptions of the trail, all of which had the message in common that this trail was going to take a lot out of you and that you better hit it well prepared, be it that you bring the right equipment or that you be physically fit. Much in the same way the official Hiker's Prep Guide warns the rookies out there that the WCT, as it is commonly known, has the reputation of being "one of the most grueling treks in North America"

In August 1998, 9 fishermen began a canoe trip down the Spatsizi River in Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park. For 9 days they canoed and fished though beautiful canyons. The day began with the 100km three-hour drive up the BC Railroad grade to the start of the 5km portage to the Spatsizi River. We were 9 guys squeezed into two extended cab pick-ups, along with drivers Hal and Stan, 4 canoes and what seemed like enough equipment to sustain us on the trek for a month. Stan commented that he had had people with more gear than us, but could not remember when. The drive to the portage took us to the tree line and above 4,600ft elevation. The weather was perfect, clear and cool.

A fall sojourn in the Laurentians. Photos of the colourful leaves are presented. At the enthusiastic behest of the folks at the Montréal youth hostel, who had “promised” mountains of flaming ruby, my companion and I were lured into taking an excursion out to Mont Tremblant - the popular skiesort in the Laurentians, which is the wilderness expanse of Quebec province. The mountain also happens to be the highest peak in eastern Canada

A 1996 canoe trip in Bowron Lake Provincial Park. The seven-day circle route covered several lakes in the park. our annual Canoe Trip be something different. Off the beaten path so to speak. Not the usual but beautiful BWCA, Quetico or Algonquin. We considered Bowron, Earl Gray, Spatsizi in BC, John Day in Oregon, Rio Grande in Texas, Green River in Utah, Missouri in Montana, Allagash in Maine, North Platt in Wyoming and the Yukon in Alaska. The decision to go for Bowron Park in Central British Columbia came quickly. It was remote and offered scenery we had not encountered before. It also enjoyed a worldwide reputation as one of the premiere canoe circuits in the world.
