In this video I hike to Point Backcountry Campground in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in Alberta.
I've lived in Canada my whole life but I don't ski, snowboard, or skate. Basically, I barely move all winter long... at least that's the way I used to be. One day I told myself enough was enough and chose to embrace winter activities no matter the cost! And with that I began planning my first winter backpacking trip! 3 months for backpacking in the great Canadian Rockies is never long enough! If I want to camp, hike, backpack and get the most out of the Canadian wilderness I was going to have to embrace winter! And embrace it I did, all on my birthday!
Come join me as I hike to my first winter backcountry camping spot and spend the night warming myself by the camp fire, eating my favourite dessert, and testing out a hodgepodge sleep system to see if I can stay warm!
Long story short, I learnt a lot about winter backpacking from this experience, and I know there will be more ahead!
Keep Moving Forward!
