Over reading break, I went back to North Vancouver. It was my mom and I’s birthdays so we celebrated by going on a hike together. It was also super exciting because my puppy is old enough to go on longer hikes now, so we took him with us which was so fun because he was so happy and did great.

During this hike, we experimented with using the app “Strava” to record our hiking route and stats. This app allows you to track your hikes, access GPS, share photos, join challenges, see reviews of hikes, and follow friends. Technology like this is great because it allows people to be apart of a community of people that share the same interests. This app also is good for holding yourself accountable and staying motivated to go explore and challenge new hikes. I would definitely use this app again in future hikes or runs.
Here is the link to the app and more information about Strava and its features:
