Since they say a picture's worth a thousand words, here's a series of pics of the portage from a couple past trips.

Take out on Duncan Bay, rocky and steep. We had been paddling into 20+ mph winds from the Narrows, hence the expression.

A climb off the shore of Duncan. And then it flattens for a bit after that.

And the steep part! First couple the kids were 13 and 15. At least they're laughing! And helping each other! She's a little older now: And the switchback at the top:

On the ridge: View from (close to) the top, back to Duncan Bay:

Tobin Harbor side: much more gradual, but still a climb (going that way): And a nice beach take-out

thanks for these! It's almost like being there . . .

I'm getting nostalgic, and that's not even my family!
