This hike is a pilgrimage. Read up on Grey Owl before heading out as he was quite a character! We finally made it on our fourth try in 48 years (once poisoned and twice turned back paddling by unexpected weather). Backpacked in this time in 3 days. The trail is a bit rugged but always beautiful. The forest is ever-changing, beautiful beaches at campsites, June flowers in bloom, fern flanked stream courses, and bears. Worth every try!
