Fuel your adventure with the best hiking snacks

As the weather gets nicer, our appetite for being in the mountains increases. Hiking is a great way to connect with nature, have fun with friends, and release some stress. You also get some healthy exercise in to help keep your joints limber. Being based in British Columbia, we are surrounded by an abundance of hiking destinations and beautiful scenery. So together our team headed out on a hike with friends, family, and pets in tow. Together we hiked to Bowen Lookout on a beautiful Saturday morning, taking breaks for photography and hydration. It was a great way to connect with one another outside of the office, breathe in that fresh forest air and connect to nature. If you’re heading out on a hike, make sure to pack healthy snacks to energize you on your trek. Try things like fresh fruit, veggies, smoothies, or any of the delicious snacks below.
