Our favourites might not be yours. One person’s easy day escape is another’s full epic marathon. We can’t predict what these backcountry or even everyday outings might throw at you. Nor can we help you make the choices or decisions which might lead to different outcomes. Your safety is your own responsibility and any of these outings may be dangerous. Our advice is: be prepared and equipped, quit before you become tired and know your limits. It is only prudent to check at info centres for weather conditions, trail closures and animal sightings before you depart. It just makes sense to go with a group or certified guide or not at all if you don’t feel comfortable. You weigh it up and decide for yourself. Risk can be reduced but not eliminated.
