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,…

  • Chief 3-2-1 Peaks Via Slhanay Peak Trail

      Highlights#1 这次活动PNOA由经验丰富的白水先生担纲领队和通盘指挥, 他周密的部署和事无巨细的定制计划,从路线到设备配备堪称精细完美, 为了防止有人掉队失联, 每人配备一部对讲机以防万一。 21位勇士手脚并用,行走在巨岩缝隙间,从早上7点开始攀爬,用时7个多小时。 路线上我们反其道而行之,从Peak3 – Peak 2- Peak 1, 避开行人密集,道路容易阻塞的天梯和铁链,其次人员分为快队和慢队, 有人开路有人断后, 白水先生穿插其中,每个转弯点都有人用对讲机提醒,没有错过一个view point! 登上第三峰眺望第一峰和第二峰,看到上面的人非常渺小, 手机需要个横屏·。应该说第三峰最容易, 不用爬梯或铁链, 山头有一汪清水, 倒影着蓝天白云,和我们team的五颜六色的着装,大家互相拍照,有队友还拿出户外椅端坐在高耸入云的山尖尖,凹造型摆拍, 好不惬意啊。 第二峰开始难度加大, 山石嶙峋,又陡又窄岩壁,有几段需要拉铁链爬铁梯, 然而最难的登顶第一峰, 经过千万年的冰河洗刷,很多岩石都成了一块光溜溜的岩壁, 几乎垂直于地面, 尤其是直上直下的云梯真的是考验胆儿的, 光秃秃的山顶, 四周毫无防护十分陡峭近于绝壁, 登上云梯我告诉我自己哦我今天到底是干了件多么疯狂的事情啊。。。 在大家全部登顶的那一刻, 胜利的喜悦溢于言表, 站在山巅上我们team大摄影师为大家留下英雄般的合影,瑜伽高手尽兴表演, 段子手妙语涟涟,石壁,溪流,高耸入云的劲松, 阳光透过树叶间隙洒向人间, 照在身上暖洋洋的, 这是人的内心与大自然的共振, 可遇不可求。。。 世界之美在于探险, 总有身体·在地狱,眼睛在天堂的征服感, 毕竟人是需要走出舒服区有一点探险的勇气, 上高路远看世界, 也是找自己。 感谢领队白水先生, 感谢队友的无私相助互相关照,感恩王大摄影师慷慨为大家拍照, 特别是男队员谦虚地留在后面断后,在每个路口等待和提醒大家,他们是大海,Roy,Romeo,Tony, Raymond。。。呵呵 山河远阔, 人间值得, 真好
