During my parents last visit, we wanted to take a weekend camping trip as an outdoor getaway, which led us to finding Rasar and Rockport State Parks in the North Cascades area in Washington State.

My husband and I had a few days off for the August long weekend, so we decided to go on a short backpacking trip. We wanted something no more than around 5-6 hours from Vancouver, but good bang for our buck in terms of awesomeness of the trail. We wanted a 3-night trip, but nothing crazy hard.

You may be wondering why it took me so long to write this post. My solo backpacking trip of the West Coast Trail was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I just wasn’t quite ready to unpack and put it away mentally. Now that the end of summer is upon us, and I’ve had lots of other adventures,I’m ready.

Last year, I was browsing through a magazine and I flipped past image. It was a photo of a woman on a paddleboard packed with gear out on a beautiful river surrounded by forest. As I kept flipping, I paused registering what I had just seen.
Tuna casserole, a simple home-cooked meal, considered a comfort food by many is easily converted into a low-carb, dehydrated version, that you can enjoy on the trail on your next backpacking adventure. Give it a try with tuna, or try doing it with mackerel to add more omega-3 fats.

I like to have a bit of variety on the trail, and I do love a good butter chicken. As such, I endeavoured to make anoow-carb dehydrated butter chicken camp meal recipe to take with me on my backpacking adventures.

Last year, I went on my first solo backpacking trip on the Howe Sound Crest Trail. I wanted to do another, longer solo trek this year, so I decided to take on the West Coast Trail, a trail I had fantasized about hiking for 20 years.
