In 2021 we entered the BW from the eastern side (normally we go out of Ely as it's much closer to home/less driving). We were flat out lucky, as the western end had closed due to fires. We did our trip and shortly thereafter, the whole of the BW was temporarily shut down. This photo is sunrise on John Lake. Much of our trip, from Gunflint east along the border and looping down and back around to Clearwater, we had smokey skies. Grateful we could do our route, yet abundantly mindful of the fragile nature of the nature we so love!
