Featured quote

In the mountains of British Columbia stand three lakes that reveal a truth about all great journeys. 

At the bottom of the mountain is Lower Lake — a clear and inviting turquoise bowl hugged by oversized ferns and thick canopies of evergreens. Lower Lake reflects childhood; the beginnings of an exploration. It's where every journey begins. — from The Parable of the three lakes, Yancey Strickler
