My name is Tempei Takeuchi, and I am a photographer based in Squamish, BC.
I was born in Japan and lived in Tokyo and Saitama until 2008.
I have been living in Sea to Sky since 2008.
Beautiful nature in British Columbia attracted and made me stay in Squamish. The biggest reason why I stay in Sea to Sky is its accessibility to nature and people in the community.
I love to travel and explore wild places, and I am sure that many people come to Sea to Sky for the same reason. Therefore, I like to share my knowledge and experiences for everyone to travel in nature. I hope I can inspire you to go out and have fun!
I want this blog to be your guide to decide when/where you go to a specific place. You can search my trips from regional/geological names or year/month. The actual trip date is the same as blog post date. I also write starting/finishingtime, trip distance, ascent time, and elevation change on each post, so you have ideas about how a trip will go for you.
Starting time: This is the time I start an actual trip and usually when I leave a parking.
Ascent time: This is the time I took to reach to the starting point for a descent.
Finishing time: This is when I came back to a parking or where I started a trip
Distance: This is the distance from a starting point to a starting point for a descent. If I did a multiple laps within a trip, it is the distance to get to the start of first lap.
Starting Elevation: This is the elevation where I park my car or where a trip began.
Highest Elevation: This is the elevation which I went to during a trip.
NOTE: I stops for taking photos during my trip, so my Finishing time would be slower than those who just goes for activities.
