For the past eight years it never really sunk in that I’m chronically ill! Yes I’ve had the terrible flare ups associated with Ulcerative Colitis. The frequent bowel movements, intense pain, and weight loss are just a few of the symptoms I was dealing with. But my mind has always been focused on battling the disease. I never thought about how my life has completely changed. I mean really taken the time to let these thoughts and emotions pass.

Since I first laid my eyes on the Tantalus range I have been enthralled by its beauty. Turning the bend on the Sea to Sky HWY they come into view. The jagged peaks, and sweeping glaciers are simply breathtaking. Good thing there is an area to pull of and take in the views.
