From the campsite at Virginia Falls we climbed to the summit of Sunblood Mountain for a few of the endless horizon that is the South Nahanni River. From the summit we could also look directly down on Virginia Falls. It did not look that far up but it took awhile. We could see the float planes landing on the river above the falls and get a bit of sense of how far we had paddled and how far we had to go. Like, it was beyond the horizon in both directions. The river was FLAT above the falls but we were about to enter the fun stuff and put on our canoe spray skirts and try to get the canoe and two weeks of food too fly off the end of the 6 foot waves and plunge the bow paddler waist deep into the next wave. Mmmm. My turn in the back.
