      Hi,

      We are looking for some hiking companions for our family.

      I have hiked most of the local routes over the years, but it is time to bring my wife and kids (boys, 8 and 10) on some famous Fernie hikes. We would really like to team up with a family or group, so that things are a little more fun for the kids. (I also realize that I don’t have enough bear experience to comfortably bring my kids on my own.)

      My boys have happily hiked the Island Lake routes, so they are not complete new-comers.

      We will be out in late-August (20-29).

      Thanks, and looking forward to hiking with you.

      My wife and I hiked up Proctor Mountain on July 22 and ran into a Grizzly on the 3rd Peak, he was very aggresive at first but a few bear bangers and rocks rolled down at him changed his tune… we ditched the food and made it down the mountian to the poweline in 37min! Great experiance, glad to have had it happen… the wife even felt the same way… later on of course while looking back at the peak.

      Hook up with the Fernie Nature Club and Nature Bob for his Tuesday night hike. He might also have some other "bear awareness" programs scheduled.
