Deep into the backcountry

It was a beautiful weekend to be up in the park. The leaves were just beginning to change and the weather was nice and cool in the evenings. We travelled deep into the backcountry on this trip searching for solitude and Brook trout.

Great report and pictures! I'm chasing brookies this next weekend and can't wait. Were you backpacking or just a long day trip?

I especially like the 5th one with the trees framing in the downstream view.

I got on some remote waters with Jay B on Sunday. The weather has been awesome.
