Beautiful Hike to the Top of Chief Mountain!


Just last weekend some of our members got a beautiful Hiking bug to the top of Chief Mountain in Squamish They braved the giant granite rock and even a downpour of rain but the views at the top were a remarkable reward for the time investment. The fun part starts about halfway to the peak when some of them stopped having to huff and puff.  Looking around at the beautiful surroundings of the beautiful forest only took their breath away again.  They ended up about 4 hour round trip with quite a few photo stops and a pretty solid lunch break on the top of the peak, just a  great time spent with friends to make you realize how amazing our Province really is. Beautiful BC! Events And Adventures Vancouver

Ready to Ramp It Up With Some Big Rapids?

 Our overnight camping along the Chilliwack river was fun. Enjoying tasty meals, campfire and camaraderie was terrific . On the Chilliwack Classic , you always have the option to walk around the biggest rapids. The Chilliwack Canyon is 14 km of nonstop Mild action ( Classic ) or the Extreme rafters with its monster rapid waves for hard core rafters. So many ways to get wet and have fun. Of course we needed to camp overnight and get our party on after a hard day on the river, so why not have a Toga party?  We weren’t the only ones camping over so there was lots of milling about and great campfires all over the resort .....Nothing makes you more tolerant of a neighbors noisy party than being there.  Fun had by all on three different rafting trips.  A mild and hard core group on Saturday and another group conquered the class 4 waves on Sunday!!  Amazing as always was the Staff at Chiliwack River Rafting and of course the amazing group of members we had from both the Seattle and Vancouver Clubs!Events And Adventures Vancouver

Canada Day!

While the rest of our E&A clubs get to enjoy a long weekend for July 4th, we had our holiday smack in the middle of the week.  Most had to work on the Monday, but some were lucky enough to take an extra long weekend.  Canada Day was however just beautiful in Vancouver.  Sun beating down and festivities all around us, our group had an amazing day along the seawall, in Harbour Green Park.  Some of us took a walk around to the food trucks that were up the hill, others had lunch or dinner at the nearby restaurant, while some of us just say and enjoyed the sun and each others’ company all day, playing Croquet, cards, and even running through the water sprinklers. 
Ending the night with fireworks, it was a great day to celebrate Canada! Events and Adventures Vancouver
