For my free inquiry I am hoping to explore different hiking trails around the lower part of Vancouver Island. I currently do not have many trails picked but I am hoping to do a few new ones along with ones I have done previously throughout the semester. For my free inquiry I plan to use different apps targeted for hiking. These apps will show me different trails within a hike and places to explore. I am planning to evaluate different apps based on how they supported me during the hike but also what content is available on me on the app without paying a premium.  

I haven’t started my inquiry process quite yet, but I hope to start hiking soon. I am currently looking through the variety of apps that are offered on the app store. I am thinking of starting with a trail I know such as (PKOLS) Mount Douglas to start my journey then throughout the semester venturing out to new hiking locations. I am extremely excited to get started and start exploring.  

Here are two websites to learn a bit more about (PKOLS) Mount Douglas! These websites show the park itself but also the significance this land has to the Indigenous peoples.
