Three Days of Canoeing in Revelstoke

Something different. And something we'd wanted to do for ages. We put in at Carnes Creek and explored the western shore. The steep shorelines of Lake Revelstoke make suitable campsites pretty rare but we found a nice spot and enjoyed a couple of relaxing days checking out waterfalls and exploring the little inlets. The paddle back had a few moments. Wind howled straight down the lake and produced large rolling waves which threatened to swamp us in our garage sale canoe. We bailed just short of Carnes and got a lift from some nice folks who were camping along the shore.
