About Us
|
Carole Blaquiere owns and operates Blaq Bear in all of its iterations. We now focus on day tours whether they are walking through the forests around home or downtown Sault Ste. Marie. She has been a passionate hiker for over 20 years in Ontario and for the past 10 in Northern Ontario. With her husband, Chris support, she has decided to follow her dreams and start this new endeavor.
'Our passion for the north began with an experience attempting to backpack the Pukaskwa Coastal Hiking Trail over 25 years ago. It started by being unable to cross a river for three days, continued by being marooned with a tugboat captain and a solo canoeist during some rough weather off Lake Superior, and finally being able to hike one of Canada’s most scenic and challenging trails. This was an extreme experience to say the least. Since that fateful trip, we have hiked the entire Bruce and Grand Valley Trails, and completed the West Coast Trail and portions of Lake Superior Provincial Park. We also have paddled numerous rivers both in Ontario and across Canada. A few years ago, we had the pleasure of hiking Ireland's Kerry Way. That trip, beautiful though it was, reinforced our belief that we have a treasure right here in our backyard.' |
