@KootenayNP have the 2021 dates been set for when backcountry camping reservations open?

Stymied by the Alberta Parks Reservation system overload. Anyone else? #albertaparks ☹️

“I regard it as the foremost task of education to insure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self denial, and above all, compassion.”—Kurt Hahn, founder of Outward Bound

There's nothing like a good adventure to feed the soul. 🏔#GetOutLookIn 🇨🇦

First time in the boots since Sept @PacificRimNPR. Three theories for why my boots feel way too tight: 1. I wore thicker socks than usual 2. My feet gained a lot of weight over the holidays 3. My boots shrank when they FINALLY dried out after getting off the #WCT #hiking

@GUkrainetz If it’s any consolation, 11 days ago I made a bad decision to start a 14 day sugar fast. Don’t stress, you got this, G.

I had the privilege of backpacking with two amazing colleagues over 4 mountain passes last week. It was exhausting and inspiring. Such great people and no shortage of fun. Grateful for the beautiful place we live. #michellelakes #pintolake #banffnationalpark

@brucezed I look forward to the book!

I can attest to the beauty of this campground! I had the privilege of camping there a few years ago. Love to visit again!

Narvaez Bay Campground offers backcountry camping in one of the most beautiful and undisturbed bays in the Southern Gulf Islands!
This unique ecosystem is accessible by boat, bike, or by foot.

@brucezed I imagine it was a bit tricky to do a resection in that weather🙂

[Jon Gilchrist @superchickenjon]

Yes, indeed. I’ve learned this lesson too. On the positive side, it makes for a good adventure story!
