Hiking with #mccoy is an extra workout for me as I have to carry her up the mountain. Thankfully she enjoys the walk down on her own. #roadtrip #kelowna #explorebc #dogsofinstgram #dogmom #addictedtohiking #womenwhohike #womenwhoexplore #mountaingirls

Second time I saw a moose was in West Kelowna, darting through the forest and right in front of our car on a crisp sunny fall morning! #fall pic.twitter.com/IciJBsByy0

Couldn't be more excited to get back out there tomorrow and find some techy rocky trails to ride! Sometimes a few days off the bike is all you need to supercharge your stoke! ??@meagherdude
