Temagami 2020

[Home]
Summer 2020... a season of cancellations due to Covid. Kat and I had planned to be mountaineering in the Monashees of British Columbia, after which I had intended to follow up with a ten day hike with Deb in Banff. Both trips were cancelled, and we all were looking to get out into the woods for some time away from the world. Katharina suggested a canoe trip, and Debbie was talking about her Canada high-point list, so I proposed a couple of route options in Temagami to hit up the highest point of Ontario. After some discussion we decided to tackle Ishpatina Ridge to its fullest and make an attempt on all three major summits of this range located in a fairly remote area of the Canadian Shield. Bill joined us as Deb's paddling partner and the result was a mixed paddling and hiking trip, where we spent as much time hiking as we did paddling.
