We ran into a bit of an issue at about 70 km into our 160km ride after coming down from our second pass. Eventually had to bushwack and head a couple hundred meter downstream to find shallower water to cross the river… Damn was it cold. You never know what you're going to get.
This was on day two of this epic southern AB/BC journey. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47079188?privacy_code=ZmjbTw1CVxlk2ukKvLJ0gjKMhYdgNJQb

how do you not get blisters if you are riding in wet shoes (or socks) after bushwacking?
Very cool picture, btw
something like this happened to me in the boundary Waters last year, they were repairing the road over a small Creek. luckily there was some kind of scaffolding that they had put across one portion of it that I could get across with the bike
It looks beautiful there, I would have adviced patience and to camp there until bridge is complete.
Send it.

Similar for me today but the water level was nothing. Lol. Bridge out. I hate backtracking.

“Bridge Out Ahead” = pucker your sphincter, pedal harder, and huck the bars at the top of the ramp.
