10/03/2017 06:33AM It was raining for us in both directions. Had to carry with 2 people going up. On the way down I planted the bow into dirt spots and pivoted down the rock faces. |

10/02/2017 03:00PM Its a short but mighty challenging portage. I've seen folks pulling canoes up with a rope. No low road on this one. |
