After my solo ski trip to this park 3 years ago (has it really been that long?!) I knew I wanted to return another winter. This year I returned with a dear friend for a 2 night trip. ...
Randonée is a french word for hiking. This is an on-going journal of day hiking and small hiking trips mostly in the southern Quebec and northern New England (near our home in Montreal) but also some hikes in ...
Some city canoeing (Montreal is an island so there's a lot of water to paddle) and country canoeing. Country canoeing is definitely my favorite.

The Outaouais is a large region of western Quebec. This journal is limited to the area a couple hours drive of Montreal, or a "daytripping" distance from the city. Preliminaries & Discovery: Outaouais, the word, is the French ...
2021 opens on a global pandemic. And where we live in Montreal, QC we are also under stricter lockdown measures, including a curfew. But... we can still go outside and we can still drive to the mountains (not ...
In March @toesalad and I get out of the city for an 8 night excursion to a rental chalet in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, Quebec. It's not a backcountry woods adventure but it's much needed time away from the city, much ...
@toesalad and I have a goal to get out of the city every weekend and do something in the snow, preferably in the mountains. We have four main activity options: snowshoeing, x-country skiing, front country (or resort) downhill ...
A long weekend camping trip to Mont Orford (the area, not the park) with friends. Leaving the city Friday night, hiking on Saturday, relaxing and doing touristy stuff on Sunday, going back home on Monday. #cantons-de-lest #montorford #memphremagog ...
It's my goal to use our Mazda CX-9 as a "camper" for trips, outings, and adventures where it's either difficult to tent or is simply preferable or desirable to have a "camp" vehicle option. I'm not going to ...
A journal of our weekend car camping trips summer 2019. My goal is to get out of the city and camp somewhere at least every other weekend.
Most of our skiing is in the Montreal area. We have a season's pass for mid-week skiing at Bromont, and we aim to ski once a week through the winter as a family. I also love cross-country skiing ...
One of my favorite things about Montreal is all the bike lanes and easy access cycling routes.
This is a journal about the Parcs régionaux MRC Matawinie Sept-Chutes (Sept Chutes Regional Park in the Matawinie "county") It's a mouthful, so let's just call it Sept Chutes, which means Seven Waterfalls. I didn't actually count the ...
Built between the years 1826 and 1832, the Rideau Canal is a National Historic Site of Canada and an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Humans have been traveling the waterways of the Rideau region for millennia. But the Rideau ...
We picked up our canoe this weekend in Ottawa. Initially, a couple years ago, when we talked about getting boats we thought we'd get kayaks. It's the boat we're most familiar with. Back when we were dating we ...
A short end of winter getaway for @toesalad and myself. Originally we thought we'd go backcountry skiing but with the warming days and advancing season we anticipate that snowshoeing is more feasible. So we've chosen our hut rental ...
Last September I hiked the first 134 miles of the Long Trail, over 2 weeks, with @toesalad, @karentogo and @hammerhead . https://outsideways.com/journals/section-hike-vermont-long-trail/ This year I'm back for more. More of beautiful September hiking in Vermont (fingers crossed), more ...
A 28 hour trip to Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Some camping, some touring, a wee bit of hiking (discovered a nudist beach!), and a political theatre production. A perfect summer weekend.
In 2011 I started my love affair with skiing while we were living on the Gaspe Peninsula. I had done some alpine skiing (downhill) as a child in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, and after a 25 year ...
Desperate for a break from the city, my family and work responsibilities, and needing some solitude and silence for myself I planned this backcountry ski trip, kind of last minute, for the end winter. After being out in ...
To celebrate @mypictograph having his momentous 18th birthday, we decided to take a couple car loads of teenagers to Refuge Swaggin, a backcountry cabin on the Sentier National in the Quebec woods. This journal is our shared experience ...
Just a few months ago we discovered Saint Donat (where have you been the whole time we've lived in Montreal?!) and we've been returning to the area almost every weekend for our outdoor activities; hiking, cross-country skiing, and ...
A journal of our outdoor adventures, mostly hiking/walking and cycling, in Montreal this summer.
We are starting to explore the Sentier National in the Laurentians and Lanaudière regions of Quebec, just north Montreal. This section of the trail starts at Route du Lac-Clair and ends at Refuge Swaggin. It's a 16 km ...
Right at the end of the snow season we managed our third trip to the cabin in Maine (thank you Kallins for letting us crash your cabin rental this winter!) and this time we got to hang out ...

Mostly ski-hill skiing, but hopefully some backcountry (alpine touring) also.
The outdoorsy parts of our week-long working vacation in North Woodstock, New Hampshire (in Franconia Notch). Working and doing life from our friend's condo but squeezing in as much hiking, river swimming, and Appalachian Trail magic as possible. ...

My parents @karentogo & @hammerhead, who live in Nova Scotia, join @toesalad & @celine and I at a Maine cabin for an work/ski-cation. Leaving Montreal after our regular work day, we arrived in Stratton Wed. night just as ...
Montreal is a city of many parks and a decent amount of snow. @toesalad and I are attempting to take advantage of both with cross-country skiing in the city.
Our friends rented a cabin for the winter in Stratton, Maine. We joined them one beautiful March weekend to backcountry ski and snowshoe near our favorite trail (the AT) and in one of the most beautiful mountain ranges ...
One fine day in October, @toesalad and I used our free National Park pass (Canada gave them away this year to celebrate our 150 Birthday - yay Canada!) to explore La Mauricie National Park, close to Trois Rivieres. ...
A nine week road trip through the western US & Canada. Stage One: Drive from our home in Montreal, QC through Ontario, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska. 3 Days. Stage Two: Stay in Colorado for one week. ...
On our west coast road trip summer 2017 we spent 3 weeks staying on our friend's boat in San Francisco Bay. Most of the time we lived on the boat, in its berth at Berkeley Marina, but one ...
We didn't see the lake but we appreciated the inexpensive campsite near the border of Utah and Nevada. I love the National Forests. #utah
A short day hike to Engineer Plateau in the San Juan National Forest, with friends Will and Janet, our hosts in Durango, CO for that leg of our 2017 road trip (https://outsideways.com/journals/road-trip-2017/). Started the hike at Coal Bank ...

In 2014 my husband, three kids ages 15, 13 and 11, and myself hiked the Appalachian Trail. Our hike took us 175 days. To share the story of our family thru-hike and to help us fund it, we ...
This past summer @toesalad and I were given a financial gift from my parents for our 20th wedding anniversary. We discussed "things" we might want to buy with that money, but decided instead to use it to seed ...
On our last day in Montana we did an easy hike with friends in the northern part of Yellowstone National Park. It was another stunning day of beautiful views.

From Mayor's Landing to Pig Farm Access. A day of rafting with @TravelingMel & family.
