How do you find a trip that includes a campfire? (see previous post about the benefits of a campfire for solo travelers) Simple answer. Any trip with camping is bound to include a blaze. Nights are often chilly. And always dark. Perfect conditions, as I discovered on each of the following vacations:
Sea kayaking and whale watching, the Inner Passage off Vancouver Island, Canada. Bonus: Our guides paddled out to a fishing boat to buy salmon, minutes after the catch had flopped on board. Then they cooked it over a lovely fire. Could a meal be any fresher? As if that weren’t enough, the sky treated us to a Northern Lights spectacular.
Rafting on the Colorado, the Green, the Snake, the Yampa and other rivers out West. A campfire by a river is a singular pleasure. Especially a river you bathed in earlier in the day.
Biking the Canadian Rockies from Banff to Jasper. The fire served as a lovely heater on those 40-degree nights.
