  • An adventiure to the BWCA! The Boundary Waters Canoe Area is a Canoeists mecca. A Less well known attraction of this Wilderness are the hiking trails. Midwest Backpacker & I set out on the Snowbank Loop. A little rain, some rugged trails and sunsets make for a very good trip.

    Just did this one in June, man, and it was an amazing trail experience. Loved this place! I added the Disappointment loop and stayed at some incredible campsites. Probably my fav trail to hike especially now that the SHT is a literal highway of people anymore. Great vid!

    • @robpelton
      @robpelton  2 года назад

      The SHT really is like Times Square these days. I’ll be exploring more in the BWCA for sure. Thanks for watching!

    (Rant: *all* ultrarunning packs have awesome front pockets, yet few backpacks do. Weird!)

      I know right!! This particular pack has then built in. I try to find these on all my packs now.

    Great video. Xena and I are going out to hike entire Kabeyun Trail again at Sleeping Giant next weekend. Haven't done the whole thing since doing it with you guys. Can't wait.
    Did an overnighter out there at Tee Harbor last weekend. Was going to camp in an area I've never been to before but someone booked it for that night. Had to change plans.
    Take it easy bud

    Rob, another video that makes me glad my daughter is moving near Minneapolis so I will visit MN. Now, some information, please. Is your new Ridge Runner the color Warbonnet calls deep red? Their photos are poor quality showing the colors. Thsnks.

    • @robpelton
      @robpelton  2 года назад

      Yep. Deep red in the dream-tex.

  • @jksurvivalbushcraft

    Just watched both of y’all’s videos on this trail. Like you, I prefer the slow and steady pace. For me it isn’t about the time or effort, it’s about the journey and sights along the way. Many times here in Ohio I will maybe only make it in six or seven miles and I will set up and explore and relax. I was referred to this loop from another hiker here on RUclips because this September I am coming up again and wanted to split my time between canoeing and hiking. Does this route lend itself to that?

    • @robpelton
      @robpelton  Год назад +1

      I enjoy both. Well, when I’m prepared for it. Haha. You can certainly paddle near this trail. Snowbank, Parent & Disappointment lakes are right there. Goodluck & thanks for watching!

  • @mbikesrulee
    @mbikesrulee 2 года назад

    In the summer you are rolling the dice not taking the first campsite you find. I got to go canoeing there in June. We would start looking for a campsite at 4pm.
