Title: Re: Backpacking Post by mastertangler on Jan 2nd, 2011 at 12:42am
Lots of great places to go for a walk. I would, however, be remiss if I didn't mention to our new friend an absolutely wonderful place that would make for a very memorable trip indeed.
And that would be Isle Royale national park. Located in Lake Superior it is a hikers paradise. Many differing levels of difficulty can be found from flat to steep and tailored to your liking. The ferry ride over is nice and then of course there is also the intra costal ferry a hiker can take advantage of for a quick ride home after the hiking is done. Throw in the beauty of the Lake Superior shoreline, a generally cool summer and no bears to worry about swiping your food and it is very pleasant indeed!! One little surprise which will be looked upon with disdain by the purists (I Liked it :) ) are the three sided shelters. These little mini huts have a screened front and once you put your tag on the door it's yours. There are usually 2 or 3 at the campsites that are on Lake Superior.....none on the interior. There is usually a resident mouse so bring a trap cause when the lights go out they are in your pack. I went to war with a rather portly specimen one night. May he R.I.P. |
