OK, some of you are making me wonder what it is like paddling UP the Maligne.  I understand if it is running high, it might not be doable, but assuming normal mid-july (which is when we will be heading in from LLC) can I assume the paddle is realistic?  Is it also realistic to believe we  can make it all the way from the mouth of the river (as it empties into LLC) to Bentpine Lake in one day?  In other words how much does the trip against the current add to your paddle time vs. traveling with the current?  Thanks for your insight.
