From here on it's just tripping, tripping and tripping. This time around we're spending 4 nights @ the ranger cabin on three narrows and the last two nights we'll spend on Great Mountain. Really excited to check out Gail and Little Mountain and to get a better look at what all the hype is about with regards to that little trigrouping of lakes. Also really curious about this place nicknamed the Toboganning Hill on the Silhouette Trail W of Little Mountain. Winter trip?? Not looking forward to Great M. to David Portage.
As for today: Killarney to 3 Narrows portage wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. After some decent hills at either end it levels out and from there it's smooth sailing. Was especially nervous about tackling that portage due to the sheer excess of shotgunning I got into last night.
Saw one moose on Freeland and got right up close and personal with a big bull moose on the long portage. Also came across a winter moose kill on the shore of 3 Narrows that I can only hope wolves took down.
3 Narrows itself is gorgeous. Lots of winding paddleways interspersed with spectacular vistas of the ridges that contain the lake and that we'll be hiking in the coming days. Well worth the extra effort on the portage to get to the "heart" of the park. Stay tuned for site recon.
