Margaux

Margaux is the newest member of The Team. Margaux moved in with us on May 25th, 2022 after living at the Cochrane Humane Society.
Already Margaux has completed several hikes most recently to Burstall Pass in Banff NP. Margaux has also completed two backpacking trips. The first was a mini trip to Quaite Valley Campground in Kananasksis to just try out camp life and sleeping in a tent. Margaux then jumped into backpacking with all four paws doing three days and two nights on the Iceline in Yoho NP while carrying her own backpack.
Looking forward to many more Margaux adventures in the future.
Links and Volcano


Links left us on Sept 18, 2020. We will always think of him when we go hiking. Links got so excised when hiking, his enthusiasm was infectious. Links completed many backpacking and hiking trips in the Canadian Rockies with his first backpacking trip being to Floe Lake in 2011 and his last backpacking trip was also to Floe Lake in 2019.
Volcano passed away March 13, 2022 at the age of 14 1/2. Volcano was retired sled dog and just began exploring the natural wild lands in 2017 at the age of 10. Volcano completed her first backpacking trip to Leman Lake in 2018. Volcano completed both one day and multi day backpacking adventures and she did miss hiking with her little buddy and pack leader.
Me (Ian)
I just like to hike, and so pleased I have so many willing companions to explore the great outdoors.
