What made this trip feel even more special for me was realizing that this blog has now been part of my life for three years. 🎉🎉 It’s honestly wild to think about how far Fitness Adventures with Liz has come since I first started sharing little pieces of my adventures online.

This Labour Day long weekend, I packed up for a trip to Mikisew Provincial Park—a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of cottage country. It was the perfect way to close out the season and soak in one more adventure before fall takes over.
