    Damn BC is gorgeous I didn’t realize where you were. I’m used to seeing trail maps like that in Illinois US and it’s just a dirt path through some trees and around a man made lake. I gotta drive about 3 hours to get to anywhere with interesting geography - mostly glacial lakes and valleys in the Midwest.

    I grew up in Colorado I miss the Rockies, they’re truly magical.

    But yeah rock climbers love giving crags and routes stupid pun names, it’s charming.

      It’s pretty amazing here, coming from a European country that is known for its nature (and not a huge amount of tourism), and Colorado is definitely on our list of places to visit as it looks beautiful. Only really visited California/Nevada national parks in the past and some smaller places in Washington…and yeah Illinois is nowhere on our list of places to visit, so I can imagine how it must make you feel some days, coming from Colorado
