into the wild

There's something very soothing and zen about sleeping one hundred feet from a mammoth waterfall, which is exactly what my sisters and I did on our camping trip to Lady Evelyn Falls near Kakisa (about a four hour drive from Yellowknife). After taking full advantage of the beautiful summer we had in the NWT this year, and spending every possible moment outside, this was the perfect end to summer. And as the temperature continuously dropped throughout the night we realized it truly was the end of summer.

Though I was grungy, cold and tired by the time we arrived home, I still felt relaxed and replenished. It was the type of experience that feeds the soul.



We felt like Fern Gully when we walked through the forest - so much to see if you stop and look around!


Despite forgetting half of our supplies, we still managed to eat better than we do at school. Dinner was chicken caesar salad alongside yams, zucchini, and corn on the cob that we cooked over the fire. Breakfast was Greek yogurt with berries, bananas and granola.
