Alpine Challenges to the Flatlander

Growing up & living on the Prairies is a pretty flat experience. Having the opportunity to backpack in remote wilderness emerges you into unfamiliarity. Steep, uneven climbs, large wildlife, elevation limitations & no cell coverage to ease ones mental state within the "what if's."

New skills are developed rather acutely. It is incredible how quickly the humans can adapt when the willingness & openness to experience such an adventure exist.
