Welcome to Hiking School

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Andy Dragt and I live with my wife Lupita in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I was born and raised here and have never moved from Calgary. For those of you who are unfamiliar with where Calgary is we are located in the province of Alberta. Calgary has a population of 1.2 million and is very close to the Canadian Rockies. We see them from the city on any clear day.

I have been going to the mountains for as long as I can remember and have been hiking and scrambling for over 20 years. I currently organize for two meetup groups, Slow and Steady Hikers and The Slow and Steady Adventure Company. I love to take others out on hiking adventures and also to teach others what I have learned from personal experience and from many of the hikers I have met throughout the years. 

My hope is to publish at the very least once weekly and hopefully a few times a week.
