Field Trip: The Bugaboos
Sep 23, 2026 · original
The Bugaboos, a unique group of rugged glacier-clad granitic peaks located in British Columbia’s Purcell Range of the Columbia Mountains, are one of the most sought-after destinations in the world for climbers, backpackers, and heli-hikers in North America. Aside from the core climbers’ area, several other trails lead to stupendous views of spires and glaciers. This photo shows Bugaboo Spire (left), with Howser Towers (center) and the Vowell Glacier, just a few of the most dramatic features of the Bugaboos. Photo by Alan Majchrowicz The view is accessed by a bit of a slog via the Rocky Point Ridge trail, seldom used by hikers. After driving 40 km along a very dusty, bumpy road, an arduous, long, steep climb along a rough and brushy snowmobile track challenges you. The beautiful meadows below the ridge are studded with subalpine larch, making this a great fall hike. Once on the ridge, you
What Should You Look for in a Business Travel Consultant in London?
Sep 23, 2026 · original
Business travel in London is rarely as straightforward as booking a flight and reserving a hotel. A single itinerary may involve multiple airports, congested roads, rail connections, changing meeting times, and a traveler who needs to arrive prepared rather than exhausted. That is why the right business travel consultant can make a meaningful difference. The best consultants do more than find available rooms or secure transport. They understand how business travel works in practice: the pressure on senior travelers, the importance of flexibility, the need for accurate information, and the cost of disruption. But how do you distinguish a genuinely capable consultant from a booking service with a polished website? Look for local knowledge with practical value Photo by Diego Torres A London-based consultant should understand the city beyond its well-known landmarks and central postcodes. Lo
How to Pack for a Long-Haul Flight Like a Frequent Flyer
Sep 14, 2026 · original
There’s a particular kind of person at the gate for a fourteen-hour flight. They have one small bag, they’re wearing something soft and dark, and they look neither excited nor anxious. They’ve done this before, and they’ve reduced the whole thing to a system. The system isn’t complicated, but it’s different from how most people pack, because it’s built around the flight itself, not the destination. The Cabin Bag Is the Only Bag That Matters Frequent flyers treat checked bagage as a separate problem and focus on the bag that goes under the seat. It should be soft-sided, so it squashes into the space, and it should be organized so that nothing needs to come out of the overhead locker once the seatbelt sign is on. The things needed in the first hour go in the top; the things needed in the last hour go in a separate pouch. A second, smaller pouch holds the things that go in the seat pocket:
The Quiet Side: Exploring B.C.’s Chilliwack River Valley
Aug 26, 2026 · original
Stand on a peak in the North Cascades, and you probably can’t tell whether you’re in Northern Washington or southern British Columbia. Both sides of the Coastal Range offer prominent peaks, often highlighted by glacier and avalanche lilies in the spring, yellow arnica and crimson paintbrush at the height of summer, and an abundance of indigo-hued blueberries in the early fall. But there’s a difference between the two locations, and that mostly comes down to crowds. Travel east on the Baker Highway to any number of trailheads, and you’re likely to meet plenty of other hikers in search of the same challenging climbs and worthwhile vistas. Travel east on British Columbia’s Highway 1 to the Chilliwack River Valley, and you may be the only person within miles. What the road lacks in access, the mountain gains in peace. As a dual citizen of Canada and the United States, I’ve lived on both side
In the Flow: A Deep Appreciation
Aug 26, 2026 · original
At first glance, trail running and a deep appreciation for nature might not seem like an obvious combination. Trail running takes place outside, on trails, of course, but pushing oneself up hills and flying down descents, one’s breath so loud it’s audible to nearby hikers, might seem at odds with hearing the drum of a pileated woodpecker on a nearby snag or noticing the first yellow wood violet of spring. On days when I want to feel the most alive, I run. As a long-time trail runner, however, I can tell you that some of my most poignant memories in nature have come from times I’ve been running. In part, this is because of the pragmatic nature of running itself: when I run, I can travel further, and when I travel further, I sometimes see more. For example, one of the best moments of last summer only happened because I arrived at the Church Mountain trailhead just after dawn on a weekday,
Cycology: Bicycling Rx
Aug 26, 2026 · original
According to studies, Americans spend an average of more than four–and-a-half hours on their phones daily, and more than half of adults get fewer than five hours outside in nature per week, Theorists call these hours spent indoors staring at screens “ultra-processed time“. Like the nutrient-poor junk food that Americans eat too much of, ultraprocessed time fails to nourish our brains. There is a simple solution: Put your phone down. Go outside. Go for a bike ride. Or go for a hike, run, paddle, swim, or any other vigorous activity that focuses the mind and body on the present. Photo courtesy Cascade Bicycle Club What you do outside for exercise and well-being is less important than the fact of doing something, anything, that enables you to escape the false reality of the digital realm and enter the real world of birds and bees and flowers and trees and bodies in motion through the natura
3 Great Hikes for Autumn
Aug 26, 2026 · original
West Fork Methow River Trail I used to think of this hike along the Methow River as a consolation prize. It was my bail-out destination when the high country around Hart’s Pass was snowed in. But, over the years, I’ve learned to appreciate this beguiling walk along the river in its own right. One can meander as far as one wants, but after 2.5 miles, the going gets rough and cannot be recommended. The autumnal color in the recovering forest, burned in 2003, is exquisite. Trailhead: Rattlesnake Trailhead, near the end of FR-5400, past the Riverbend Campground, follow FR-060, 10.6 miles west of Mazama. No pass required. Wilcox Pass Located in the southernmost section of Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies, Wilcox Pass is a special place. You’ll hike up through forest, emerging into the open after a mile. There are two very appealing red chairs positioned beside the trail (part of a

Up North: Tombstone Territorial Park
Aug 26, 2026 · original
“Each of us has an Up North. It is a time and a place from the here and now. It’s a map on the wall, a dream in the making, a tugging at one’s soul. For those who feel the tug, who make the dream happen, who put the map in a packsack and go, the world is never quite the same.” – Sam Cook, Up North , 1986 For a boy who attended high school in Alabama, “wide open space” was a football field, and there was no “Up North” unless you considered Tennessee. That changed when I drove across the grassland prairies to my graduate school program at the University of British Columbia. The metropolis of Vancouver, perched on the southwestern corner of endless fiords and glaciated mountains leading north to wild landscape, was unfathomable to a boy raised in the deep south. The granite towers of Monolith and Tombstone soared above the tundra landscape, which was turning gold with each shortening day of
In Praise of Tahoma
Aug 26, 2026 · original
The mountain that we call Mt. Rainier had another name bestowed upon it, long before European settlers made their way to the Pacific Northwest: Tahoma . Tahoma means “frozen water,” or “snow-covered mountain,” or “the source of nourishment.” All of these are far more eloquent—and apropos—descriptions than “Mt. Rainier.” I can’t help but notice that the middle sound of the word sounds like “Om,” or “home,” two words with spiritual meaning. Tahoma dominates the skyline, towering above the city that has taken its name. Covered by the most extensive system of glaciers in the U.S, outside Alaska, it is the largest single mountain in the lower 48 states. Tahoma is so colossal it creates its own weather. All over the South Puget Sound region, it’s known simply as ‘The Mountain’. Rising 7,000 feet higher than anything within roughly 45 miles, there’s no mistaking its dominance. The absence of so
