Pictures of backpackers who traveled to Canada

Canada is a nice country for backpackers. From Nova Scotia Cape Breton Island to Quebec parks to the fabulous Rockies.

Bring your snowboard in your backpack and come to Canada!

By the way, it will be the 400th anniversary of Quebec in 2008. I insist, don’t miss Quebec 400 in 2008!

Martin Going to Bed on Mont-Albert

Canada Québec Mont-Albert - North Face North Rim 69L

“A short trip that we’ve done a couple of times in the past. We hike Mont-Albert off the beaten track, we sleep and enjoy the landscape & tranquility at the summit and go down the mountain the day after… or we continue, it depends! The hike is physically hard but not pretty long.

Un petit trip qu’on a déjà fait à quelques reprises. On grimpe hors-piste le Mont-Albert, on couche au sommet et on profite du paysage et de la tranquilité et on redescend le lendemain ou on poursuit… tout dépendant! La grimpe est assez dure mais relativement courte. Même chose pour la descente.”

Hey everyone!

I’m leaving in couple of hours for Spain. I will take a lot of pictures of “Me, my backpack, somewhere cool on the planet (in Spain though… Spain is cool anyway haha)“.


Always bring my ultimate frisbee disc!

Keep sending your pictures! I’ll post them when I’m back (May 28th).

Canada British Columbia Oblivion - Lowe Alpine OLS Special Expedition

“Separated by 50 feet (16m) from the nearest person for nearly 15 hours a day, with the only sounds being the crunch of the snow beneath your feet, the wind past your ears, and the subtle movements of the glacier, I had many hours with only my thoughts. I thought about life, I imagined eating something other than freeze-dried beans, and I sang songs, many, many bad songs mostly of the children’s bedtime variety, for hours a day. Note to self: pay more attention to the lyrics of songs you like.” - Talis
