Category: Out on the Land

From Divide Lake, I switched teammates and headed down the Broken Skull River. Despite the ominous name, the Broken Skull River is actually the least technical river in the park.

Here are some photos of people getting splashed by waves:

It was a very scenic river.

We hiked up a nice mountain near one of our campsites.

I learned a bit about how Parks Canada photo shoots are done.

We stopped at some nice hot springs.

And saw some fun animals.

We ended our trip at Rabbitkettle Lake in Nahanni, where we went to see the largest tufa mounds in Canada.

From the flight out, here’s a sneak preview of my next destination: Backbone Lake (formerly Grizzly Bear Lake).

I’ve been out of town in the field for most of the summer (48 days over 2 months), so I’ve been falling behind on blog posts.

Back in July, I was out at Divide Lake, which is a pretty nice spot.

Here’s a montage of the Resource Conservation team doing vegetation monitoring at Divide Lake:

The weather was a bit iffy…

But fortunately there’s an old hunting outfitter cabin on the site (the only infrastructure in the whole park).

The previous occupant of the cabin was not happy about us moving in though.
