Hey I’m Stephanie!
I haven’t always been obsessed with hiking but over the past few years I have discovered my love and need for the outdoors. Although I don’t mind hiking on my own, I desired having people to hike outdoors with me. The people around me did not share this same passion as I did so therefore it was hard for me to find people to hike with. This is when I decided to start a hiking group back in May 2017. I wasn’t sure anyone would actually join but now the group has really grown!
I have really enjoyed all of the people I have met through Lower Mainland Hikers. I have gone to so many amazing spots outdoors thanks to this venture! British Columbia is truly amazing and I do not think one realizes just how much our province has to offer until they start exploring outdoors more often!
As I began to hit the trails more I became addicted to finding out where more trails were, especially the lesser known trails. I also became very interested in learning more about proper gear and safety. I even finally accepted that hiking season never ends and that you can just strap on a pair of snowshoes in the winter to still get your hiking fix year round. No wonder I was always depressed in the winter before snowshoeing days!
When I am not hiking I am working with autistic children in the school district and designing websites. I also enjoy traveling and kayaking.
My goal of this site is to bring more people together with a shared love for the outdoors through social media and to educate hikers about some of the amazing trails in the Lower Mainland while being properly prepared as well!
If you ever have any questions please feel free to contact me through my contact form or through social media! Always happy to help.
See you out on the trails! Happy adventuring.
