List of Hikes

SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF TREES..  

WHO AM I TO DIS A LEAF?

With summer almost coming to an end, let's squeeze as many hikes as we can! Do it with Amy and check off some of my favourite hikes on the list below.  BUT before that, look at my last adventure at Lindeman Lake!

Lindeman Lake is located in the Fraser Valley near Chilliwack. Approximately 2 hours from Vancouver and the round trip is about 2 hours itself. The trail is marked all the way up. Definitely dog friendly and has amazing nooks and crannies for you to pitch a tent. It's 3.4 km and considered an intermediate hike, so get your hiking gears ready for an absolute beauty of a hike
