About GeoKs

Our family enjoys outdoor adventures in the beautiful southwest corner of Alberta: hiking, biking, geocaching and nature photography are some of our favourite activities. We started hiking as a family in 2004, when our youngest was 4 years old. We started geocaching in 2006, when our friends "Sears Tower" introduced us to high-tech treasure hunting. We especially enjoy earthcaches. We've been slowly migrating from paved path cycling to single-track riding. And as far as photography goes, Mr. GeoK and our oldest son avidly pursue great shots in the beautiful Canadian Rockies.
