—that is to say, from Ootsa through Whitesail, Eutsuk, Tetachuck,
Euchu, Natalkuz, and Intata Lakes in the order named, finishing at
Ootsa, a distance of 203 miles.

Naturally, with the route reversed, the conditions differ here and
there from those described in the preceding pages. Whitesail Lake is
at a higher elevation than Ootsa, and the trip up the Whitesail is
against a strong current, but with a sufficiently powerful outboard
motor (say, 10 h.p.) it presents no difficulty. Eutsuk Lake is on a
higher level than Whitesail, but the difference is barely noticed on the
short easy portage; and, as already mentioned, the Tetachuck River
falls gently to Tetachuck Lake—although there is a fairly fast “chute”
where it leaves Eutsuk. Then comes the sharp declivity between Teta-
chuck and Euchu Lakes, but the portage, though long, is not difficult.
From there the passage is easy.

Apart from its other attractions, this whole area lends itself remark-
ably to excursions from the well-defined trails. The great open
stretches of uplands are easily explored on ho=seback, and there still
remain many unscaled peaks to tempt the mountaineer. For the still
and motion-picture camera, its newness, its colour, and its unique
resources of big game make it an unrivalled field.

The lower levels can be traversed comfortably from the middle of
June and the highland country from the middle of August to the
middle of October. The fishing is at its best from the end of July.
