Within these pages, you'll discover the elements of a true adventure: exploration, risk, grit, physical and mental challenges, fear, humor, and a dash of the unknown. Paddle with Steve as he is awed by magnificent glaciers, fights through spring snowstorms, and battles screaming winds in his solo canoe. You'll feel his fear at the possibility of losing his wife and daughter in frigid Alaskan waters and the intensity of a grizzly bear striding straight toward him and his children from 30 yards away. You'll chuckle at his mishaps, like nearly being swept backward into a foaming river without paddles and trying to save a grasshopper from a duct tape death. And if you're an angler, the fishing stories will cause your pulse to race as if a behemoth smallmouth or marauding pike has just smashed your lure.
Spectacular sunsets, freshly caught walleye sizzling over a campfire, the Northern Lights, howling wolves, violent hailstorms, roaring whitecaps, and smoking cigars in a torrential downpour—you'll experience all of it in Wilderness Waters.
