Speaker Series: Wilderness travel in the far north of Canada
Wilderness travel in the far north of Canada

Join us as Scott Waeschle: Climber, paddler, guide, and photographer as he shares amazing images and tales of adventure- white water canoeing the Hood River of Nunavut, Canada. Waeschle traveled with his sons and a friend above the Arctic circle on the Hood River from its source to the Arctic Ocean in July 2023.
Scott will also share a trip he lead July 2024: a group of six paddled the Bonnet Plume River through the Makenzie mountains of Yukon. Northern Canada is one of the last lightly traveled wildernesses where one can spend a month traveling a river without seeing another person.
