Nicknames: Peaks (Erika) and Paddles (Jenny) - bringing together our two passions!

Definition Of Adventure: Peaks and Paddles says it all! We like going outside: mountains, lakes, rivers, and the ocean and all of the activities you can do in and on them in the rocky mountains. We are sometimes accompanied by our dogs Maurice and Dexter. We are Calgary based weekend warriors who flee to the mountains in a 1987 Volkswagen Westphalia any chance we get. When we aren't climbing, walking or paddling on our FO boards, we are in search of the best local coffee shops or most oozy gooey cheeseburgers.

No.

There is one* exception: Bears Hump in Waterton Lakes National Park.
