We went on a very memorable hike up to Abbott Meadows in Rogers Pass last weekend. It is a special place for Simon and I, we visited this spot a number of times in our first years together. In memory of these beautiful moments, our wedding rings are sculpted to feature the view from this spot. This is the first time we’ve visited this spot with Emily and Madeline. They too were captivated by the view.
My friend, and previous adventure race team-mate, Troy, is the founder of an Adaptive Sports program in Kelowna. He brought the trail rider hiking chair, and a team of young, strong lads to help get us up the mountainside. It is a steep 11.5 km trail, roundtrip, with an elevation gain of 900 metres (3000 ft).
Much gratitude to Simon and my friends Dana, Lisa, Andrea, and Chris for all their collective horsepower; this was no stroll in the park. And also a big thanks to Troy, Lynette and the CRIS guys for making this happen!
