It was from 2016 if you didn't see that part. ;-) I had mostly written it shortly after but finally got around to editing it and getting pictures together recently.


It was a fantastic trip though. Ideally we would have had 4 nights, although it wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't go to South Temperance and then back to North.


How many nights are you planning?

Boonie, don't know how far you'll travel on 1st day out of Baker EP but if you end up at site 904 on North Temperance Lake you'll want a piece of tarp (tyvek?) to hang in front of the bivy. It's in plain sight of the firegrate area (no undergrowth). A few small trees at bivy strong enough to secure a tarp. Have a memorable trip.

Thanks for the warning on Burnt-Kelly. I've lightened up considerably over the years as I have tended to pay more attention to where I wanted to go than the portages, but I'm not as young as I used to be.

Thanks for the report. We're planning the same trip this year, opposite direction though. Good to hear some recent info on it.

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure where we'll end up since w should have plenty of time. We'll probably try to lay over for at least a day on Cherokee.

We'll have 6 nights, so plenty of time even though double portaging. We'll be going in Baker Lake entry. Yeah, I forgot it from 2016, but still good info.

Enjoyed the report. I love Cherokee and have done the loop 3 times. Back then the Ada-Skoop portage was a paddle thru most of the way. I hope those beavers get industrious someday and make it easier again. Counterclockwise loop from Sawbill was the best routing, I agree. The Brunt-Kelly portage is the one that weaned me from overpacking ever again as I worked up quite a thirst after double portages. Fond memories.
