The video clips on this page were taken in September 2020 during our Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness trip. Click on a thumbnail image to view the video.
NOTE: we have trimmed these clips and reduced their resolution so that you could view them with as little interruption as possible. Apologies in advance for any waiting that may be required to view full clips.
There are many clips, covering different aspects of the experience, but they may seem repetitive. We wanted to give you a choice, but don’t feel compelled to watch them all.
