With snowshoe and sled, a buddy and I spent 4 days and 3 nights in Algonquin park.

We traveled the Minnesing ski trail, covering about 17km.

The first two nights were spent in our tents, and the last night we opted to stay in a small wooden cabin with a woodstove.

The first night it got down to -37c. the next 2 nights were -34c... the high temp for the whole trip was -20c
