Ben Banet is our sweetest #TripLeadTuesday yet! Benana Banananet is our friendly neighbourhood baker who blesses Peaks with his supply of cinnamon rolls, banana bread, and National Geographic quality photography. He also happens to be #instafamous, so you better go like his IG posts because he can probably run you over in his souped up Subaru.

Read MoreWakey wakey, eggs and bakey, today's Trip Lead Tuesday features our favourite resident dolphin Sam Andrews. Comment below if you're as concerned as we are about his fun fact... (Is Sam okay? Let us know.)

Read MoreOur zestiest new trip lead, Zac Denham, may or may not be able to count but we're excited to feature him in today's #TripLeadTuesday either way.

Read MoreHow we price trips, what the money goes towards, whether our trips leads are paid, and other related topics.
Read MoreIt's our honour to feature our graphic design saviour, Tyler Jenss, in today's #TripLeadTuesday. We don't know what his favourite colour or preferred flavour of ice cream is, but we do know he has a great sense of humour and can mould miracles in Photoshop. Do us a favour and don't harbour any resentment towards him for telling everyone he's from NYC when he's really from NYACK, New York - we're sure it's a nice neighbourhood. Savour the moments he shows spider-like behaviour, exemplified in the picture above, because he's usually armoured by an amount of valour that leaves us in awe. We're NYACKING.
Read MoreWe're proud of what we accomplished in 2017 and stoked for bigger & better things yet to come. Here are some highlights from the past year.
Read MoreNever before have we done a #TripLeadSpotlight where we're left with more questions than we started with. Rahul Bilakanti might be a tree masquerading as a trip lead, but he definitely has a way with words. Comment below if we should change the name of our organization to Hike Out Door.

Read MoreWhat our rating system is, how we determine our trips' difficulties, and how to decide what difficulty is right for you.
Read MoreWe're starting off the semester by serving LOOKS in today's #TripLeadTuesday, courtesy of Julienne Dawidoff. Her expertise lies in lipstick and fermented foods, but she also knows her way around the trails, the ocean, and a good bowl of ramen. If anyone knows how she can apply to be a kombucha model, DM her on Instagram.
Read MoreThe final #TripLeadTuesday of the semester is the face behind these posts & puns. She feels weird writing this in the third person but assures you that she's much happier about this all than she looks in the picture.
Read MoreWe're letting the Kat out of the bag - Katherine Cheng clawed her way to the top for today's #TripLeadTuesday. No mixed felines here, if you're looking for adventurous wedding photoshoots and hairstyling lessons then she's your purrfect match. Kat got your tongue? Read on when you're ready to say "I Do."
Read MoreToday's heralded Halloween hiker is none other than Ailish Ullmann. She has everything we could ever want in a #TripLeadTuesday except for knowledge of chakras - but don't blame her, she's from Florida.
Read MoreToday's tantalizing, terrific, tremendously thrilling #TripLeadTuesdayfeatures our terribly talented and trustworthy David Gregg. He's nothing if not reliable, even when he gets intents.
