Bowron Chain – 2022 Day 6
Day 6 #highlights – August 6 Cariboo Falls. The weather today was the best it could possibly be. The skies were generally overcast but the ceiling high. It was warm but not stifling.

Backcountry Tenting
One of my favourite places is the Bowron Lake canoe circuit. I’ve done the circuit many times and in an array of company. This summer we’ll make the trip with 14 of us spread across 5 family units. Our skills and experience with camping, canoeing, and other outdoor adventures, greatly vary. These next few posts […]
