| The 53 km portage over the pass into the coastal mountains is the hardest thing we’ve ever done. It began at Kemano Bay where we put the canoe on the cart and Taq into his harness. The first leg was 12 km – flat, paved and full of grizzlies looking for a mate! There was grizzly sign every 20 feet on the road. Peter Cotter told us that he had seen 29 grizzlies from his truck the previous week in the same stretch we were about to walk.
