Free navigation along the border.

Enjoy your trip. Should be a great route. Love the lakes from Argo to McIntyre, though the fire may make some of the portages and campsites problematic

As Solotripper notes route through the Rolands is quite pretty. The eastern most portage between Argo and Crooked has recently been a short portage into a pond choked with standing timber followed by a mid-length carry into Argo. Easy the last time I took it. Terrible the time before that (18" of fresh snow).

One suggestion is to consider the route out of the north end of Sarah into Kahshahpiwi. Very pretty and relatively untraveled. Irene has a really nice camp (figures prominently in Solotrippers trek of woe) in the middle of the route. Also features the tallest trees I've seen in the park on the portages between Irene and unnamed and unnamed to Kahshahpiwi.
