When planning trips I generally lean on a number of resources including existing trip reports, satellite imagery and existing trails/GPS tracks. I’ve included those resources below for your use:
Trip Reports
- Steven Song’s Peak Bagging Journey
- Over 1,100 summits with extremely detailed reports and GPS tracks. A “gold” standard for trip reports and my usual go to for a lot of objectives
- Andrew Knapman’s Best Hikes BC Site
- Great details and review on various summits around BC. Also includes non summit based objectives
- Patrick’s BC Mtn Man Site
- High quality images and trip reports
- SWBC Peak Bagging Facebook Group
- Frequent trip reports from various members of the community. Very useful for current conditions as well
- Climber Kyle
- Rock n’ Rope NW
