I walk toward the tumultuous roar of the falls. Sergei Mjatelski, pilot for Simpson Air and my only partner for most of the trip, had pointed out the boardwalk’s white line zigzagging through the trees as we flew over it just minutes ago. He explains the walkway offers an easier way for paddlers to portage past Náįlįcho, also known as Virginia Falls.
“They call that the Last Chance Harbour,” Mjatelski says, pointing to a shoulder in the river, where people can pull up their boats to the rocky shore above the falls. As we walk further along, he points to a similar spot, only this one is much closer to the water’s descent. “This is really your last chance to get out.”
