My hubby and I went on a day trip up to Squamish, BC a few days ago. We decided to explore the beautiful wilderness of the Pacific Northwest and hike the Stawamus Chief trail. The top was about 700 meters, and the trail was about two hours of “stairs.” Whew! Talk about a workout… not to mention the climb down.
I wanted to share with you how we made the trip 100% raw. The night before I assisted a raw chef training class (remember Janice?). There was some leftover date nut torte (walnuts, dates, raisins, and lemon juice) which I froze that night for the trip. I also made a big green smoothie (32 oz.) to go in my brand new green smoothie jugs from The Raw Divas. I also put that in the freezer the night before. The morning we left, I also packed some celery sticks, blackberries, an apricot raw bar, as well as some water. We enjoyed the feast at the top of the third (highest) peak.
Some chipmunk friends wanted to join us, which I wasn’t too happy about as they were very pesky. We tried to take a nap after our delicious meal, and our little furry friends climbed on our hands and feet looking for any remnants of the food. They were cute, but I wasn’t thrilled…
The view was gorgeous! We rested our legs for an hour catching some sun and getting ready for the hike down. The way down was harder because our legs were tired and we took the harder way down (we didn’t know until after we were already on the trail!).
Yep. We were rock climbing. What an amazing experience, though! Quite a challenge for me as I am afraid of heights, too.
I am still sore… mostly in my arms and quads. Can’t wait for our next hiking adventure. The Grouse Grind is next 
Such a great time! The chipmunks are cute, we don’t see them too often where we live. Thanks for sharing!
I love to hike and this looks like a great trip. Thanks for posting how you did a raw day hike. I think posts like this help a person who is starting on their raw food journey.
