The road less cycled

We’re here at the house of a Rivershed Society of BC member, graciously granted the right to use the upstairs of the house, shower facilities, computers, etc. for the night.  Since arriving in Valemount last Saturday, we’ve hiked to Kinney Lake where we blindfolded each other, rafted down the river in a cheesy “guide does all the paddling” raft though the scenery of Mount  Robson and surrounding mountain ranges was amazing, canoed from Tete Jaune to Dunster, camped under the stars, canoed from Dunster to McBride, thrown frisbees into vehicles, canoed from McBride to Crescent Spur and the Goat River watershed, hiked the Goat and Milked the ridge, eaten countless wild berries, “debriefed” far too literally, seen 5m diameter cedars, swam in the Fraser, drank pure stream water, skinny-dipped in the Goat, eaten lots of raw veggies, and shared some good laughs.

Now we ditch the canoe and hop into the raft for the next 8 days or so, honey pot and all, before we emerge from the Canyon and enter the Valley.
