[1] At the time of printing, the budget was under development. The estimate assumes slight cost increases at Northern Tier and will vary based upon length of trip. There are two travel days plus arrival and departure days, and staging out of Cole Canoe Base. This estimate may be revised downward. There is a "separate unit budget" option. Contact James Keller
