Canoeing through raw Canadian wilderness

If you love paddling through rugged landscapes on wild rivers, then head to the expansive wilderness of Côte-Nord, Quebec.

Watch this: The Land of Wild Rivers. This doc does a beautiful job of showing what paddling and portaging your way across the raw Canadian backcountry for 385 miles would be like.

The amount of pure grit and resilience that goes into an adventure like this is beyond impressive. We were hesitant to share this at first because it's over 6 hours but think you'll love it. Watch the trailer here.

Standing on the highest point in the lower 48

Wanna stand on the tallest point in the contiguous United States? Then head to Mount Whitney.

Hiking the trails that lead to the summit are the best way to immerse yourself in the endlessly captivating and enchanting jagged peaks of the Sierra Nevadas.

This strenuous out-and-back trail will take you past rocky switchbacks, sheer cliffs, and flowing waterfalls.It's one of the California's most popular hikes — so popular that you need to enter a lottery in order to win a permit to hike.

Insiders tip: If you can handle freezing cold overnight temperatures and don't mind trekking through deep snow, head out in early spring. You'll ditch the crowds and the permit lottery.

Watch this: The Mountaineer's Route to see what it would be like to stand on the highest point in the lower 48 would be like.
