At the beginning of last week, I hiked in the LC Gunn trail that overlooks Fort George Park and a bit of Prince George! The trails are in awesome condition and the sun was shining which made the hike so much more worth it! There is a steep section at one point, but once you get to the top of it, it makes you realize the climb is definitely worth it!! There is a parking lot in the area that is safe and fine to leave you vehicle and the trail is very accessible from there! Make sure you bring bug spray, the mosquitos are pretty bad!

A friend and I went hiking in Fort George Canyon last week and the hike was great! The hiking trails are a little bit damp in some areas, but not enough to ruin the hike. On just the drive out there, we saw a mother bear and 3 cubs and 2 deer. It was definitely worth going out there! We found it a bit tricky to find when we first went out, but once found it, there was no problem getting back out. For hiking on this trail, bug spray is a must!

I went hiking at Teapot Mountain on Monday May 30 and the hike was great. There were no damp, muddy or snowy spots on the hike that would make it hard to climb. It was a steep one from the beginning and about 1 km up. The top of the mountain has an awesome view of the surrounding lakes and great variety of dense forest. There is no places that supply water along the hike so make sure you are prepared with that and bug spray!
