Boundary Waters Podcast – Ep. 110 – Crane Lake to Grand Portage

Episode 110 of the WTIP Boundary Waters podcast was recorded on a windy day at Camp Menogyn on West Bearskin Lake, at the edge of the BWCAW. In his first season as a canoe guide for Menogyn, Dante Gilbert shares the story of paddling the old Fur Trade route from Crane Lake to Grand Portage with a group of five campers and their guide. Dante also explains his personal approach to finding and experiencing wilderness, from the backcountry to a city park near you.
Plus–a bonus segment of ‘Keep it Wild” about the seven principles of “Leave No Trace.”
