About the Blog

The Powderfin.com blog is a place to discuss, with your participation, what makes the outdoors the “Great Outdoors”. We want to hear your stories about the best place to fish in Chile, the best camping spot in Yellowstone, an unforgettable river trip, etc., we’ll tell you a few of ours.

We plan to have frequent guest writers, and we’ll also be posting your replies, or discussions with us. If you have something to share, especially if you have pictures to add to the scenery around here, we may ask you to write it up and send it to us, we’ll post it as long as it makes some sense and is of reasonable taste. It's a chance to interact with like-minded people, share your experiences, and hopefully learn a few things.

With that said, here are a few pictures of a recent trip to Jasper and Banff National Parks. It is an incredible place; full of the most amazing scenery and wildlife I’ve ever seen. If you haven’t been, you need to go. Because they are very popular parks, it is a good idea to get up early (around 6:00am) and get to the places you want to see ahead of the crowds. We planned our routine to see the famous/touristy spots early, then retreat on a long hike around 10 or 11. On most hikes over 5 miles, you manage to get away from hordes of people and see incredible places with very few other hikers, if any. Also, going in the spring or fall drastically reduces the amount of people as well. If you have any questions about where to go or what to do while you’re there, drop us an email at www.powderfin.com.
