I received a package yesterday from @Paddle__In! The Paddle In group share a lot of great photos, stories, and videos from their outdoor adventures. I got to meet Shawn Ryder, one of the members, this past summer at @SamdeChamPP. Thanks for the stickers and buff Paddle In! – at Mattawa, Ontario

The clock is ticking on fall tripping, but there's still time to enjoy amazing backcountry views. Just bring a sweater. (via @thomas.rowan and @Paddle__In. Give them a follow for some of the best tripping info.)
