I can say the next time I get in a canoe solo I’ll be much better prepared from these simple paddling tips they expertly explain here in this video.
I bought a mountain bike last spring with the intent of riding some backcountry trails to fishy haunts, and while I got out a few times, I didn’t use it nearly enough. Maybe next summer. It’s not an outlandish idea, biking to backcountry fishing. The video above shows two anglers who loaded their bike paniers

The next morning was the day of the Cirque de Towers, a much anticipated hike. We left the trail in the morning and began to climb up to the valley of walls that formed a fortress of cliffs.

Over the top you enter the famous valley of Cirque de Towers and drop down all the way to a lake.
