Hello, I've been looking through this site and the Friends of the BWCA site for some route ideas. The route guide has been very helpful. I'm heading to the BWCAW in June with my scout troop. We have about a dozen people, so we are splitting into two groups. I'm trying to come up with two routes, each for 5 days. We will be starting out of Ely, so I've been looking at Moose Lake, Snowbank Lake, Farm Lake, and Lake One as possibilities. Ideally, one route would cover more ground (four days plus a layover) and the other might have two campsites, spending two nights at each. Those are ideals, but I'm open to suggestions, including other entry points in the general Ely area. The two groups don't need the same ones, but if they are near each other it would help with logistics.
Two that have caught my eye are the Kawishiwi Triangle, which I hope we could add day trips from, and also one suggested by VNO - a big loop beginning at Moose Lake, working in a big clockwise loop to Ensign, Ashigan, Jordan, Ima, Thomas, Kiana, around through 4, 3, 2, 1 to exit at Lake One Landing. I tried posting a link to the Kawishiwi Triangle from Friends of the BWCA, but I got a message that I'm too new to post links. Here is is as text: https://www.friends-bwca.org/route/kawishiwi-river-triangle/
I know I'm late to the game getting permits, but are there any other good suggestions? In particular, what worthwhile day trips would be good from the Triangle Route?
