8 Days in Canoe Country

Eight days. Six humans and a dog. One chain of remote northern lakes.

We set out into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness — over a million acres of protected public lands, alive with loons, towering pines, and granite shorelines. A place so wild it feels untouchable, yet it’s under constant threat from proposed mining. This was our timeline of paddles, portages, and the moments that reminded us exactly what’s worth protecting.
