When you are going to set out on your Western Canada hiking tour, or are just taking a day jaunt around the mountain, you should always remember a few key points.

• Always wear comfortable clothes and durable, quality footwear.
• Respect the wildlife and the natural surroundings – keep the trail clean.
• Be bear aware.
• Dress for mountain weather that is notoriously changeable.
• Carry lots of drinking water and perhaps bring a snack in case.
• Mark your route as you go.
• Make sure someone knows where you went and when you plan to return.
• Some dogs should be left behind as they may attract predators.

Although these guidelines are good for hikers, they are also good rules of thumb while biking British Columbia mountain valleys.
