Haven't been able to stop thinking about this comment from Tom Allen of the Royal Geographical Society, as part of his interview in Mountains Magazine #1. It just makes so much sense.

‘Exploration’ is a word of two meanings:
geographical (involving heroic explorers,
discovering new lands etc.), and; philosophical
(going into the unknown to find something new
to you). Philosophical exploration could be kids
in their garden, or a gap year backpacker, or
anyone seeking to broaden their horizons and
explore their curiosity. I’d like to make the idea of
exploration more accessible to all in a way that
reflects RGS values.

Calm lake with a forest beyond and mountains further back. Blue sky reflects in the water and the photo has bushes framing it

In Whistler and interesting to learn that the summer months bring more visitors here than winter. It's clear to see the attraction of this British Columbian town at any time of year.
