As Generation X ages, they are starting to sit still. Our goal is to show all our fellow GenXers that you don't need to stop doing the things you love.

You can even find new and exciting things to do in your life. Never stop adventuring.

You may have noticed that we have changed our name. GenX-Ventures was fun, and we liked it, but it didn't really give the idea of what we are about.

Gen X Miles and Moments speaks to me about the miles we put on, whether driving or hiking, and the moments along the way.

Along with the new name is a new website. www.genxmilesandmoments.com is our portal to everything we do. There are links to the YouTube channel and all our socials. A section for me to post photos of adventures as well. But most exciting to me is the addition of a Substack site where I can write. I love to write, and it turns out people still like to read. I'm not a professional writer by any means, but with the blog, I will be able to give more detail and personal reflections of all the things we do.

I hope you check it out.

Backpacking Pinto Lake | 6 Days of Hiking, Camping & Wilderness

09/05/2025

Join us on a 6-day, 76 km backpacking adventure to Pinto Lake in the Canadian Rockies!
This remote backcountry trail in Alberta, Canada, is known for its rugged beauty, alpine lakes, and unforgettable wilderness camping. We hiked for three days to reach Pinto Lake, set up camp by the water, and explored the area before making the long trek back out.

Pinto Lake is one of Alberta’s hidden gems, and this trip pushed us physically and mentally in the best ways possible.

If you love backpacking, hiking in Alberta, or exploring the Canadian Rockies, this adventure is for you!
