Camping one more time .

In a daytime you prep fire wood for the night. You eat miso soup and you take gondola up to the top to enjoy blue mountains and feel a breeze of wind :)

And after all this is done you enjoy sunset by the water and after that you ask a friend with a guitar to play it by the fire :) pretty idyllic scenario that we had on Porteau Cove Provincial Park. It’s a great place to camp but only if you get a spot by the water. During summer time it’s quite hard to reserve spot there but worth the effort. I should mention that this campsite is close to railways and the train only pass campsite at midnight/early morning and it is suuuuuuper loud!

Other than that you can do quick stops to Sea to Sky or Whistler or Murrin Lake Trail ;)

10000 star hotel in Golden Ears .

Finally we did summer camping with friends and my sister and her bf who came to visit us :) 3 nights of fun, rain, hiking, good food and laugh, oh and yes(!) some swimming too!

Mountains are calling, rain is falling .

Things that I remember: Rain, fire, fire, sun, coffee in between, fire, hike and delicious food.

Manning Park it’s huuuge and birds by the lake are so used to humans they land on your palm with no fear! Remember San Diego Zoo had lots of birds too but they were not paying attention to people. Question here is - did I get the bird to land in my palm?? I think the answer is obvious ;) It was another successful camping trip. The only thing that I didn’t realize before going there that the actual season starts in June, otherwise lot’s of trails are closed and you have no access.

But! We did few smaller hikes around the lake, Youn took a little swim in a lake but for me it was too cold so I just recorded him ;P Scrolled down and enjoy beautiful views of Manning Park!

For the days you feel at your best .

Before we head on to our next nature vacation I wanna share images from few years. Youn and I went to our first camping trip to States. I think this is where we realized how much we want to do this together and the days we spend there we still think of as our best camping days!

We arrived late late at night and all spots were taken so we end up sleeping in a car and this image above was what we saw when we woke up. And a miracle happened!!! Someone left early early and we took their spot. (Back then this campsite didn’t have reservation available).

We slowly set up a tent that we borrowed. It was a huuuuge one where you can just walk in ;) and made one of our favorite breakfast! It was corn tortilla+egg+bacon+avocado+pickles(!!!)+tomatoes. You get it, all the good stuff ;)

Even now when I look at these photos it looks soooo delicious ;)

The reason why we went camping to States was based on fire ban in Canada. We both can’t imagine camping without having a fire.

We did some hiking around and this haze came all the from Canada!
