After I moved to the Mountains I suppose it was inevitable that my pace would slow down from that of a ballerina~figure-skater~roller-skater wannabe to that of a walk. Although I still got my need for speed kick from zooming around on my mountain bike, I spent the other weekend day with a pair of hiking boots laced to my ankles and slowly over time built up stamina for longer day and overnight hikes throughout Banff/Lake Louise/Field.
Zamberlan, in the end, became my hiking boot of choice. I don’t remember how many pairs I wore out over the years…this pair, likely the last pair, are still in my closet.
Although there are no mountains to hike around Lavender Hill, I occasionally put on my hiking boots and I feel like my mountain-girl-self once again.
