We went on a hike to two local areas outside of Yellowknife. The first hike was a short 2 km walk through the boreal forest to a waterfall .
It was pretty hot for this far north. We wore jeans because we expected lots of mosquitoes. When we got to the river, we took off our shoes and dipped our feet in the water. Chris walked across the top of the falls. When he returned to put his socks back on, he had to brush a legion of baby leeches off the bottom of his feet. I was kinda freaked out about it and didn’t want to go swimming in the lake after that – even if it was a different lake!
