For two days we hiked from Misfortune Lakes in the Northwest Territories to Duo Lakes in the Yukon.

There have been many times in the backcountry where I have been having a horrible time. I’m angry that it’s cloudy, I’m frustrated that I’m sweating, my pack is too heavy, my skins are sticking to the snow, my dad is blazing up the mountain without a care in the world.
