Off-the-Beaten-Path BC Adventure Towns

Biking, Climbing, Destinations, Get Out There, Hiking, Travel / By Out There Venture

Living as close as we do to British Columbia and the unthinkably uncrowded Kootenay region, with its lifetime’s worth of outdoor adventure potential, dramatic scenery and idyllic, enlightened mountain towns, there’s no excuse for not having a current passport or an enhanced, Canadian-border-crossing approved Washington State driver’s license.

Biking, Columns, Get Out There, Last Page / By Erika Prins Simonds

I locked my bike to a lamppost one sunny afternoon in May 2012, and it was gone an hour later when I returned. I know exactly where it is — I even occasionally call to check up on it — but I haven’t seen it since that day four years ago. My bike was stolen

These Fly Girls Are Hooked

Fishing, Get Out There / By Janelle McCabe

My only fishing experience took place at age 7 when my cousin swung her rod around and somehow hooked my nose. The hook was so well-lodged that the emergency room doctors had to drill a hole through my septum and pull the danged thing out the other side. Happily, Heather Hodson’s unbridled enthusiasm for fly
