BWCA Portage 776 (Vaseux to Moose)

Shallow water boulder strewn landing on Moose. The succession of boulders continues for approximately the first third of the trail to Vaseux very similarly to an old creek bed which makes for very tricky footing. The gradient increases as you travel west getting ever steeper (but not severely so) as near Vasuex. The landing on Vasuex is tight and has some submerged boulders that may be a problem. There is, however, a nice sitting rock situated there.

Long portage but not technically difficult. Beautiful view of Moose lake from the portage on that side, albeit rocky but not the most difficult we've encountered.

beautiful views of moose once you arrive, creek/stream/ must be some great fishing on Moose side during Bass bedding.

A few ups and downs here with tricky footing, but the view across Moose through the smoky haze was beautiful

This portage feels like you are walking along a runoff stream bed. So many rocks, make sure your footwear has ankle support. It does go near the running water next to it, which is nice.
