TIPS on how to hike cold temps.. and still enjoy it🥶⬇️

We all put in so much effort on the trails so there’s nothing worse than getting somewhere and not being able to enjoy it because you’re too cold.

So, I’m here to give you a few tips on how to stay warm and enjoy yourself as the temperatures drop:

1. Layers, layers, layers!! Make sure to wear a merino wool baselayer, which helps wick sweat and trap heat efficiently. Then, layer a fleece and a good down jacket to keep all that *glorious* heat in. You can also wear a rainshell on top if you want to block out any wind.

I wore the Transcendent Down Hoodie in the Canadian Rockies when it got down to -6C and after this trip… I truly LOVE it. Here’s why:

• It is exceptionally warm and is so soft.
• The fit is perfect. As a woman, it’s so nice to wear a slim and well-fitted down jacket.
• It’s made with 100% recycled shell and responsibly sourced 800+ fill power down.
• The left-hand pocket ingeniously doubles as a stuff sack.
• It has a ton of pockets, an adjustable drawcord at the waist, and a cozy hood.

You can shop this jacket via my stories or link in bio🤍

2. Bring a camping stove to make hot drinks and/or food. Nothing like a warm drink when you can’t feel your hands😂

3. Bring hand and/or feet warmers and gloves.

4. If that chill creeps in, do jumping jacks, walk around and move around.

What a privilege it is to sleep in places like this.

To keep these places pristine for many generations to come always follow the Leave No Trace principles—don’t know what that is?! plz google it now☺️. The BIG things to know are:

• Camp on a durable surface (aka gravel/rocks) and previously camped on spot.

• Camp away from water sources. 100-200ft depending on the area you’re recreating in.

• Pack out everything (even your toilet paper).

• Be mindful of your overall impact around you and keep it better than when you found it.

Have fun out there!!🧡🥾

Here’s how YOU can help Jasper locals⬇️

If you haven’t heard, Jasper and Jasper National Park were evacuated due to wildfires and 30% of the towns structures have sadly been destroyed. These wildfires are still burning. This has been devastating for locals, lovers of Jasper NP, wildlife, landscape …

So let’s help.

1. Donate directly to Jasper locals through .

2. Donate to . The Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta will match every dollar donated to the Alberta Wildfires Appeal. So your donation will be felt x3!!

3. Vancouverites - Donate new/gently used items that will be sent to individuals that are affected by the wildfires. is spearheading this so message her if you’d like to donate any items she is needing (list of items in her and my story).

4. Buy a print from and help support an artist who lost her entire studio in the wildfire aka her way of supporting herself. She is such a special human and her art is truly incredible.

5. Purchase a “To Jasper with Love” T- shirt from & . All proceeds are going directly to the community of Jasper.

6. Share this with your friends and family in case they want to help too🩷

7. Plan a visit to Jasper when they are ready for us! Follow to know when that time is.

If there are any other ways we can help, please comment them and I can add them to this list.

If you’re not in a place to donate financially, please share this post. Thanks everyone.

𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗬 - aka highlights of the last few weeks here in beautiful BC (ish)

1 - Spent four days at Cariboos for my 5th group trip! More on this soon.

2 - Went to Banff for four days and forgot (?!?) just how stunning it is.

3 - Been SUPing so much that I feel like I need to invest in a electric pump😂

4 - Went backpacking with Karin to a special place I’ve been probably ten times now.

5 - The special place. This is listed in my blog post about 10 hikes in BC on angelaliggs.com. Link in bio🫡

6 - Been exploring a lot of beaches in Vancouver and been loving sunset swims in the ocean.

7 - Went hiking with my dad. Something I want to do every week of the summer, if I can.

8 - Cold water dips with my water loving man🩷

9 - Went on an overnight SUP adventure. Not going to share too much of this because we didn’t really do things “right” aka didn’t strap anything to our SUP or have many dry bags lol but it all worked out and was so fun.

10 - Brought Mike’s sister (who is visiting from Ireland) camping for the first time on said adventure⛺️ We brought a rotisserie chicken and made Greek wraps. 10/10 recommend!!

11 - Been hiking a lot on the North Shore Mountains and am forever grateful they are so close to downtown Vancouver.

if you made it this far, thanks for reading 🩷

An epic trip to add to your bucketlist👇🏼

A week of packrafting and exploring the remote (and stunning) Yukon with 🛶

There are no amount of photos or videos that I can share that would ever come close to showing you the whole experience.

Packrafting is FUN but it also challenges you—but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Safe to say, I am hooked.

Have questions? Check out my ‘Yukon’ stories or ask me questions in the comments. 🩷

It’s finally time to play in the mountains and I could not be more excited🥹🏔️

I’m wearing high-performance mountain gear by here. They have clever designs and functional mountainwear for every situation the mountains throw at you—and they have fun colors which is perfect for anyone in their color era🌈

1:30am in the Yukon🩷🍃

Experiencing the Midnight Sun through me through a loop! Countless nights we were up to 1 or 2am because we had no sense of time at all. It made for some amazing memories😌

Patiently waiting for Berg Lake to reopen….🥹🩵🇨🇦⛺️🥾

Truly one of my favorite backpacking trips, ever. It has been under repair for a few years due to flooding and bridges washing away. I can’t wait to go back but am happy the area is getting a much needed break from humans😊

Is Berg Lake on your hiking bucketlist?

I wrote a blog on this a few years ago — on angelaliggs.com. If it’s on your bucketlist for 2025, give it a read!🫶🏼

𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗬💫

There’s more to me than the pretty pictures I post, and this is one of my ways of showing that! I haven’t shared a life ‘lately post’ in quite some time so here’s one from the last few weeks. I haven’t been up to too much, a lot of rest, work on my blog, family time and trying to reset after a very hectic fall + winter.

1: I went overnight camping to a campsite only accessible by boat… or kayak! It was a very rainy trip (this photo was taken in the 5 min of sun we had) but great memories were made.

2: I finally tried a doughnut from Honey’s in Deep Cove (very popular spot) and ate it under some trees while it downpoured. A very Vancouver moment. 😆

3: I got Tendonitis in my right wrist after our kayak adventure but after two weeks of rest it’s back in action.

4: I’ve been spending a lot of time at home, which has been needed. I’m curious, have you noticed I haven’t traveled in a while?

5: My partner and I snuck in a few campfires before the fire ban. Also, the video/reel from this particular night got 15 million views… which is wild. Anybody reading this follow me after seeing that video?

6: Almost done reading book two in ACOTAR!!!! And yes, I LOVE IT!

7: I HAVE A NEW NEPHEW! I love being a zia. ☺️

8: Spanish Banks in Vancouver has become my favorite spot.

9: A lot of time these last few weeks has been spent with my nonna. She is pain and hasn’t been herself lately. I’m extremely close to her so it’s been tough to see. Send her some love. Look how stunning she is at 92! 🩷

10: My bf and I said goodbye to a good friend who moved back to Ireland this week. I guess our adventures will have to continue in Europe now when we visit…😍👀

My story (so far)...

My most asked questions are related to how I got to where I am today. I had no intention of going down this path or knew what an ‘influencer’ was growing up—but I’m so grateful I fell into this. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been an outdoor-lover, thanks to my dad. He always took my sisters and I on camping trips and hikes mostly around our home province. After high school, I started hiking and backpacking almost every chance I got with any friends who would go with me. For the next five years, I went to university where I earned a degree in Communications. It took me one year longer than normal because I went on two multi-month backpacking trips with my best friends—one to Europe and the other to South East Asia and New Zealand.

These trips opened my eyes to how much I loved traveling the world, exploring new places, hiking and even the little moments in between. I went to 15 countries before I turned 22 and I didn’t want to ever stop. I ate my way through Italy, sailed across islands in Croatia, soaked up the sun in Greece, learnt about a culture I knew nothing about in Turkey, danced every night in Spain, hiked as much as my legs would take in New Zealand, learnt about the history in Cambodia, rode motorcycles in Vietnam and more. I always had a part-time job while in school so that I could save money to travel. I’ll say now that I was very privileged and was supported by my parents. I didn’t have a massive student loan looming over my head like many friends I knew. The money I made was put right into my ‘travel fund’ and I know that not everyone has the opportunity to do that. After I graduated, my passion for hiking and travel only became stronger. Thankfully I live in beautiful British Columbia where the hiking is never-ending

I worked full-time in a few different roles—at my step dad’s law firm, Red Bull and, most recently, lululemon. During this time, 2015-2018, I slowly gained followers on Instagram. It was the only account I had and it was made to share photos so my friends and family could see what I was up to. It was shocking to see people following me and liking my photos. My account growing was a very gradual process and I never made it a big deal. My audience kept growing and it wasn’t until my older sister sat me down after I came back from New Zealand where she explained to me that I had an opportunity at hand. An opportunity to grow a community online, inspire thousands to get outside and potentially make money doing it. After this conversation, I put much more effort into my Instagram.

That meant producing more content, practicing photography, meeting new people, learning about the business and so much more. Fast forward to 2018 where I was working full-time at lululemon and putting in all the energy I had left into my Instagram. All my time went into these two jobs. Juggling a social life, staying present with my family and going to the gym regularly was a struggle—and to this day, I don’t understand how I did it. At this point, my Instagram was generating the same amount of money, if not more, as my 9-5 job. I didn’t sleep much, I worked weird hours just to put in my full day at lululemon and went on road trips to Washington, Oregon and Alberta (even if I only had a couple days off). By the end of 2018, it was getting to be too much.
