Colin Angus completed the first human-powered circumnavigation of the world when in 2006 he cycled into Vancouver after 43,000 km of travel. During the course of two years he rowed across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, trekked and cycled through 16 countries, endured winter in Siberia and searing heat in the tropics.

Colin has made a career exploring remote parts of the world and sharing his adventures through bestselling books, films and presentations. He has navigated the Amazon and Yenisey Rivers from source to sea, sailed the South Pacific Ocean, and rowed thousands of km in waterways around the world. He has co-produced four documentaries which collectively won ten awards at international festivals including the Dijon and Telluride Festivals of Adventure Films. His work is published in numerous publications including the Globe and Mail, Reader’s Digest and Cruising World.

Outside Magazine listed Colin as one of the top 25 “bold visionaries with world changing dreams” for his work in promoting lifestyle changes to help the environment. Colin and Julie continue their efforts in promoting zero-emissions transportation as a healthy way to maintain a healthy world. (For more information check his website www.angusadventures.com)

GIMLI RIDGE (take 2)

Sunday, October 17 2010 We woke up to sunny skies and decided to squeeze in one more hike this year, before the snow starts in the alpine. Mike had done Gimli earlier this summer, but it was foggy and raining and he barely saw the beautiful peak, so we decided to go there again. (see below) From Nakusp, it took us exactly 2 hours from our house to the trail head, packs on and ready to go.
For those who like to have their 'eye on the prize', this massive rock can be seen from the parking lot. It's an easy to moderate hike through the forest, with some steeper parts so good footwear is recommended. It's a national park so no dogs are allowed. This is one impressive area, all the peaks are jagged rock cliffs, it is spectacular. To the left, more peaks towering over us. We had lunch at what seems to be 'base camp' for climbers and hikers.


We didn't see any wildlife on this trip, but we heard picas in the distance. After a quick lunch break, we continued to the left to view Mulvey Basin. Ice has already started to form on the big rock, and while we were sitting enjoying the sun, we heard this loud crash - it was the ice melting, and landing below (right on our path to get back down). This was another amazing day hiking in the Kootenays. Pretty soon, we'll slap on the snowshoes and keep exploring nature's wonders. Happy trails.
