Outdoor magazine listed the Bowron Lakes Canoe Circuit as "one of the world's 10-best canoe trips".
I can't compare it with the other 10, but to me it was one of the best outdoor trips I've done.
I got into canoe-tripping in Ontario where it's a common summer trip. But there it's relatively rolling hills and calm water. From canoeing in Ontario to canoeing in B.C. the difference is huge...literally!
The Bowron lakes are completely surrounded by snowy peaks and include some steep portages and a dash of white water.
Six of us did the 118 km journey this summer, and it blew us away. We witnessed snow at the beginning, blistering heat by the end, swarms of mossies, and more moose than people. We took our time with 8 days, finished our 10 litres of wine, had time to hone our axe-throwing skills, and even threaded our wall-mart fishing rods.
Anyway enough from me, I hope you enjoy!
