Winter Wonderland!

Winter has definitely shown up here in Idaho. With winter storm advisories for the central Idaho area the last few days, the snow has started to pile up. We have accumulated over a foot of snow in the mountains the last couple days. La Nina is treating us well so far. Lets just hope it keeps coming and builds a great snowpack for the up coming river season!

Myself and a friend took a short trip up to Canada this last week to check out some National Parks. It turns out the camping season in Canada is coming to an end with recent sub-zero temperatures. We did some hiking around in several different national parks, it was a winter wonderland up there. Also we soaked in some great natural hot-springs which were awesome, but definitely no better than our Idaho hot-springs. I wanted to share a couple photos that I took on our recent trip. Hope you enjoy!

I also just finished up a short video edit of a snake battling it out with a toad from this last summer. Check it out on the video gallery!

Thats all for now.

Hope you are having a great day!
