6. One of our many stops during our hike up ! One of the greatest things is taking off your pack after a long trip.

7. Funny how fours later into our voyage and we can still get a glimpse of the city. Attempting to balance on this small path was difficult at some points! Trekking in the trees!

10. Mount Robson (5 days) Sometimes, there are moments in life that you just can’t explain.. First time the outdoor rec group was able to reach this spot on the way to the caves in four years. Couldn’t ask for a more amazing view!

11. We stayed alive; so celebrate Before our journey into the water Our wonderful little group Conquering the waves!

12. We had Dave candies for days My roomates Staying dry and happy  Definitely worth getting a cold -jumping in glacial water

13. Some of the best moments were definitely on the bus rides to and from our journey…. Although I couldn’t ask for better roommates, our tent parties we hosted were always “intents”.

14. Im sure there are to many simonselfies to count.. Seeing the waterfalls gave us motivation to move faster… But trekking across slowed us down Everyone enjoyed stopping for a bite to eat.

15. Looking at the falls, hoping for a shower Surviving our hike to the cave and pretty proud of ourselves. Only BC can have views like this. Can you move mountains?
