  • I spent 3 days ALONE in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park! This incredible landscape is located in British Columbia, Canada. Starting off with my helicopter ride in, this video follows my journey to Og Lake Campground, Lake Magog Campground, Mount Assiniboine Lodge, and the famous Niblet/Nublet viewpoint.
    I'm pretty new to solo backpacking, so I'm still learning the ropes. Taking the helicopter into Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park allowed to cut out the most intimidating part of doing this solo - the 30km hike in! Bear safety was of course my main concern, and you'll see how I handled that in the video. I don't want to give too much away here, so join me for 3 days of solo backpacking in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park :)
