MCKAY'S TRAVEL, OUTDOORS AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Travel Blog
This is a good way for me to track and remember what I've done lately and in the past. A form of journaling. I have several reasons I blog, when I travel, when I spend time outdoors, when I enjoy any kind of experience and also when I eat/try new food.. Here are all of those posts. I usually post every month on average.


Mt. Pope Provincial Park
Took a day to do a not so quick and not so easy 8 mile hike up Mt. Pope, got a good workout and got to enjoy some beautiful views. Didn't take long to eat all the calories back at lil Jimmy's.

Candyland
Amazing chance to go to Canyonlands National Park, spent 4 days there by myself doing some backcountry camping and hiking. I did take my camera and have those pictures in my portfolio. Got the chance to camp in a very cool cave and hike a lot of miles. Did a solo backpacking trip to a primitive camp site deep into the needles district of the park. There was no one out there and it was an amazing place to camp. The backcountry Devils Kitchen Campground was awesome, I guess yo

Camera Ruined
Well, we did a hike to test out our camera, got a few good shots and also found out it isn't waterproof. Im really good at planning hikes for rainy weather in the dark.

Red Reef Trail Hike
March in St George means perfect time to swim, we did an awesome hike through some slot canyons with enough water to swim in, I always love to look at rocks.

First Solo Backpack
Got the chance to go on my own solo backpacking overnight trip. Got to do a little fishing and lots of hiking. Hiked for hours in the pitch black and that was actually pretty nerve wracking, better than hiking back down in the pouring rain though. I camped at a great dispersed high elevation backcountry lake called Round Lake deep into the High Uinta Wilderness. I passed some other lakes along the way, unsuccessfully fished a few spots and just had a great time out in the wi

Joffrey Lakes
Joffrey Lakes is still to this day my favorite hike I have ever done, there were waterfalls, rivers, glaciers and almost fake looking turquoise lakes.

Fish on!
Day trip out to Camsell lake up around Vanderhoof, caught over 150 fish in just a few hours, yes you heard that right, caught and released a tonne of rainbows. Even got to eat one right there at the lake. Here are a few videos for proof.

Mexico
Trip to Mexico in February 2019, great way to start off the year. Drank so many pina coladas I didn't eat anything all week. All inclusive is for sure the way to do it, we had an amazing room and the patio jacuzzi was awesome.

Hanging Lake
Gotta start making up for lost time, here is something way back from from October 19 2018 Good way to break up a 15 hour road trip is to hike for 5 miles. It was worth it though and the lake and views up top were beautiful, wish I could have got some better pictures but it was great.
