Peta Barrett enabled me to rediscover the Boundary Waters! In my fifties I longed to go back and experience canoeing and camping in the BWCAW as I had done so many times in my teens and twenties. With Peta’s total confidence in my abilities, her incredible knowledge and state of the art equipment, her gourmet trail meals and laughter and awe of nature, my dream of returning to the wilderness became a reality. Best trips ever with the best guide ever!
