A Day of Community and Conservation at Garibaldi Park

We, the Pacific Northwest Outdoor Association, were excited to be part of a joint effort by the Friends of Garibaldi Park, the British Columbia Mountaineering Club, and Garibaldi Park rangers to spend a wonderful day trimming brushes on Diamond Head Road.

From the parking lot to Red Heather, our team worked tirelessly, cutting high, low, and wide to ensure the trail is clear and accessible for all. The camaraderie and shared sense of purpose among the volunteers made the day both productive and enjoyable.

This collaborative effort not only helps to maintain the natural beauty and accessibility of Garibaldi Park but also fosters a strong sense of community among outdoor enthusiasts and conservationists.

As we wrapped up the day’s work, there was a palpable sense of accomplishment and anticipation in the air. We can’t wait for the next adventure, knowing that our hard work will enhance the experience for all who visit this beautiful park.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this day a success. Here’s to many more days of giving back to the natural spaces we love!

加里波第公园的社区保护日

我们非常荣幸能够参与加里波第公园之友、太平洋西北户外协会、不列颠哥伦比亚登山俱乐部和加里波第公园护林员的联合努力,在钻石山路上度过美好的一天,修剪灌木丛。

从停车场到红石楠树小木屋,我们的团队不知疲倦地工作,修剪各处遮挡道路的灌木丛,以确保小径畅通无阻,所有人都可以通行。志愿者之间的情谊和共同的目标感使这一天既富有成效又令人愉快。

这种合作努力不仅有助于保持加里波第公园的自然美景和可达性,而且还在户外运动爱好者和环保主义者中培养了强烈的社区意识。

当我们结束一天的工作时,空气中弥漫着明显的成就感和期待感。我们迫不及待地等待下一次探险,知道我们的辛勤工作将增强所有参观这个美丽公园的人的体验。

感谢所有参与并使这一天取得成功的人。 希望我们能在未来的日子里继续回馈我们热爱的大自然!

  • The Rockwall BP (石墙路背包行)

    1 计划 石墙道是一条多日背包步道, 位于加拿大境内落基山脉的Kootenay 国家公园内. 全长56公里, 沿途可看到瀑布, 溪流, 冰川和高山湖, 当然还有最有名的石墙. 可以从南往北走, 也可以反方向从北往南走, 一般人花三到五天走完. 像这种著名的步道, 营地都需要事先在国家公园网站预订, 一般都是秒光. PNOA协会从年初就开始计划. 准备充分, 又得力于团队有2位金手指, 为我们南北两个方向的每个营地都抢到了至少5个帐篷位子(pad). 公园规定一支队伍的人数最多十人, 所以我们二十人的大部队分成两个小分队, A队从北往南, B队从南往北走, 两队相向而下, 在中途某个地方会师. 队里有经验丰富的大神领队,但也有不少是背包小白, 就悠着点来, 按五天计划, 平均每天走11公里. 途中有4个营地可以过夜, 所谓的营地, 也就是几块平整过的碎石地. 背包里除了要背过夜的帐篷和睡袋, 还要背5天的食物及净水设备. 平均每人负重15到18公斤. 这是一个什么概念呢? 战国名将吴起在魏国训练的精锐部队魏武卒的入门标准是负重50多斤, 半日行军百里. 史书上没有记载爬升多高, 但想象在中原地区奔驰百里之遥, 不可能全在平地. 所以与魏武卒相比, 这个只是蜗牛爬. 但我们没有称霸户外江湖的野心, 只是游山玩水, 只要背得动, 蜗牛速度也可以出门了. 为了从小白晋升到蜗牛爬, 队员们几个月前就开始了魔鬼训练, 除了日常跑步,爬山和骑车等基础训练之外, PNOA协会还组织了几次短途的背包露营, 比如Elfin lakes 一日露营,…
