A fall day trip to Vanderhoof, BC

What can you do while you are in Vanderhoof? Lots! You can read all about my recent adventures there by visiting the Hello BC - Explore BC Blog.

Autumn in the Ancient Forest

On September 22, I joined the Ramblers for a hike at the Ancient Forest, which is over 100 kms east of  Prince George.  There were over 10 people who came on the hike which was led by Nowell.  The Ancient Forest has many Ancient Cedars that are over 1000 years old!  It is a very unique and special place, as it's an Interior Rainforest (Snowforest).  There are not too many places in the world where you will find them.

Making the most of Summer

The current beautiful Autumn days that we are having, remind me of the last of the Summer days that we had in September.

On the same weekend that the Caledonia Ramblers did a hike up Caledonia Mountain on September 15 (only a month ago), I decided to stay home instead of hiking with the club.  Though, looking at some of the photos of the hike, it would have been a great photo-op day there!  But not to worry, I took some awesome photos in the City and surrounding areas.   You really don't have to go far to play with the camera and get some great photos.

Northern BC Summers- Boulder Mountain

A couple of weeks before the gorgeous summer weather ended (September 1), I got to take in another spectacular hike with the Caledonia Ramblers.  We were going to hike up Boulder Mountain, which is over 1 hours drive East by LaSalle Lake.  You may recall that LaSalle Lake is where we camped the second night on Tour De Jasper in July.  I didn't realize that I've seen Boulder every time I ride.. I just could recognize which peak it was.

The Prince George Farmer's Market Blog Post

Here's the other post that was published today (well, back published for Sept. 22).  I wrote up about our local Farmer's Market, which is really neat.   It's a great place to get fresh produce and other items.  Autumn is my favourite time to go there as there is so much fresh produce to choose from!

As you can, I've been very busy, and I haven't been able to post here on my own blog as much as I want to.  But, I am really enjoying the special opportunity given, to post at the Destination BC blog.  There is so much that I want to share to others about British Columbia, and the site is geared for those interested in visiting this province.  Not to worry though, I do have a few posts that are pending here.. I just have to edit them, and push publish! :)  But for now, enjoy these two posts that I created.

Take on PG interview

Recently, I was interviewed by Tourism PG for their Take On PG campaign which highlights 365 fun things to do around the city.  The post is about my take on things that I like to do in the city.  It just got published yesterday, and I like that it has a bit of a bike theme going on as that is so me!

Anyways, go check it out now at http://takeonpg.com/things-to-do/locals-take/carolyns-take

I think Take on PG is a great campaign!  Prince George is a great place to live, there is so much to do and nature is so close by.  I felt honoured to be posted on the website.
