Fortress Lake, Canada

This past summer, five friends went on a back country trip to Fortress Lake at the base of Fortress Mountain in British Columbia. They traveled 15km on bike and 9km hiking (including crossing a big river). They brought all of their food in with them, and came up with a meal plan ahead of time (which required catching fish, and they did) and distributed everything among the bunch. They camped on the beach, cooked on the fire and for a brief half hour in the afternoon, they swam in the ice cold water. For three days, they enjoyed the beauty of their Canadian surroundings and didn’t see another soul.

I really love this set of images. And I may have the same yellow/faded-mustard tent.
