About Me - Stephen Roberts

Me, Stephen Roberts, a ambitious, go-getter type outdoor 'recreationalist' with an absolute passion for multi-day backpacking trips and day hikes of all kinds. Whether it be a fifteen minute stroll along a well beaten hiking path, a four hour scramble to the top of a mountain peak, a week long backpacking trip or a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, when it comes to strapping on my hiking boots, grabbing my trekking poles and heading out into the 'great unknown' I'm eager to take on the challenge.

Formally educated in resource and environmental management along with marketing and advertising I strive to bring awareness to outdoor recreation in an attempt to foster an appreciation and desire to protect wild and natural environments for the continued use and enjoyment of generations to come. I believe that connecting with like minded individuals is essential to this goal; that through the sharing of stories and by engaging in discussions based on interests associated with hiking and backpacking that these hobbies will continue to grow in popularity as will their inherently associated spin-off's of environmental stewardship.

Having hiked countless trails in Eastern Canada and major portions of the Pacific Crest Trail I thought it was about time to put some of my thoughts and adventures to paper, or text as it were. I hope you enjoy!
