A gorgeous and very challenging one day scramble (S5,T5), made even sweeter by the beautiful Lake of the Angels. A fortuitous alternate for our original Bismarck traverse (changed due to lightning in the forecast).
Plenty of parking at Larrabee boat launch. It appear not many people use this for launching trailered boats. There were a lot of other kayakers launching at the same time including a guided group.
