The Noatak must have a really fast current to cover that many river miles in 13 days in that craft. How many hours per day did you spend on the river? The most I ever paddled in one day was 58 miles on the South Nahanni River just upstream of Virginia Falls. It had a very swift current and no rapids that required scouting.

No... and then YES! lol. This was me and my dads first water trip like this. up in the headwaters we only covered about 10-13mi for the first few days, we spent very long days on the water (like 12 hours). we were concerned that we weren't making enough time each day. We got about 1/2 way though and then it rained for a couple days, the water came up about 6ft over night and then the river was rockin. we did 40mi easy the next day. then we didn't have to spend nearly as many hours on. it was a great trip we only saw 2 other groups the entire time. :REOutArchery02:

Jason, that looks like a really nice campsite near the granite formation. My kids love scrambling on the rocks like that. Whereabouts' was that taken?

Apologies for the repost - I had photo troubles in my prior post...

My wife, kid, and I managed to get out and enjoy some fall colors two weekends past in Minden, Ontario, Canada. We drove 2 hours of slow rocky trail to be alone and ended up at the pictured lake campsite.

It rained all night but the sun came up in the morning making for a beautiful Sunday. We started the day right with quaker instant oats and spent a lazy day digging with sticks and exploring the waters edge. My daughter saw her first ducks and chased a turtle and a few frogs.

Never underestimate the entertainment value of throwing pebbles into a body of water to a 2 year old.....
