: Maybe I should split the nearly 4 weeks available into two trips - a long

: Please keep the suggestions coming!

Hi John

If remoteness is a high priority, I'd suggest the Hakai Wilderness Area. .
It's north of Vancouver Island just below Bella Bella.
Last September we were there for 7 days and saw no other kayakers or boats!

As Darren said. the " Brokens " are beautiful. and nearby the "Deer Group" make for a nice few days of paddling.

You'll enjoy where ever you go!
Regards Terry
