Description
Local ambassador Nick Keenan completed 100 hikes in 2021.
Perhaps that's easy when you live in a spectacular place like Banff, Alberta. But Nick explored the West Coast, the Island and many of the other Parks in Canada. We pinned him down between his job and his hikes to find out more about his achievement and share his top 10.
"In August after finishing a hike, I got a notification through the Suunto App saying I'd completed my 70th hike of the year. Knowing that I still had 4 months to go, that’s when I set the goal of completing 100 hikes in a year. It felt like it took a long time to get those final 30 hikes, but by the end of Nov, I finally made it to 100!"
Read more from Nick on our blog 100 Hikes and make sure to follow him on FATMAP!
