It was a warm, sunny day with a slight breeze and the perfect day to have a nature adventure in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our morning started out with a bike ride through the city with e-bikes from Nice Ride, and it continued with kayaking the Mississippi...
Polar bears are typically the biggest draw for visitors coming to Churchill, Manitoba, but there is a different white mammal that also gets much deserved attention in the summer months: beluga whales! We made our way to Churchill this past summer on a trip hosted by...
