Escaping the Insanity - 50 nights under the stars in the Canadian Rockies in 2020

2020 was actually an amazing year for me. I completed 24 overnight trips in the Canadian Rockies with some amazing friend. This is a compilation of all those memories. Thanks for your support throughout 2020. I wish you and your families a Happy New year, prosperity and good health in 2021.
