La raquette est le sport d’hiver qui se rapproche le plus de la randonnée pédestre. La seule différence entre les deux? Les raquettes, qui permettent de marcher sur la neige sans s’y enfoncer. Si vous avez déjà vos raquettes, vous êtes prêt pour la saison hivernale – habillez-vous chaudement et sortez dehors! Sinon, il existe

NB Snowshoe Rentals
In winter the closest activity to hiking is snowshoeing. The biggest difference is that you need snowshoes to keep you from sinking in the snow. If you already own snowshoes you are ready.

Winter at Fundy Park
Day 1 – The Hike In It’s the simple things that give a deeper meaning to life. The busy-ness and constant distractions of our day-to-day rarely provide us with deep fulfilment. It’s only when you stop and look (really look) up at the billions of stars, or sit in front of a fireplace and talk

Winter camping is a wet, cold, somewhat masochistic activity, but it is a great way to clear your mind and wipe away any winter blues. Ever since my wet and windy adventure at the Parlee Brook Amphitheatre and Friar’s Nose Vicki wanted in on the action. We had a few things to do so we
