Description
A true hidden gem, the Isle Royale, located in Lake Superior is a place not many people visit. However, it is definitely a place not just worth visiting, but worth exploring. Hence why we are offering this week long backpacking adventure in the island’s national park.
Full of beautiful natural scenery, the Isle Royale national park makes for the perfect escape for anybody who wishes to leave the noise, stress and commotion of the city behind. And because of the park’s isolation, don’t be surprised if you don’t see anybody else for the entirety of your trip. Also don’t be surprised if you manage to see some of the park’s abundance of wildlife. In fact, there is a possibility you might even see a moose! And at night, when camping under the stars, you will likely hear the island’s loon population lulling you to sleep, or even the calls of wolves.
Throughout the trip, we will visit, explore and admire several great spots. Some of those spots include Sugar mountain, Mount Desor, Ishpeming point, Mount Siskiwit, the Tobin Harbor trail and much more. Each one of these spots will provide you with great views not just of the island of Isle Royale, but also of Canada and Minnesota.
We will be hiking from 5 to 8 miles per day on this trip. As a result, participants should be in good physical condition.

Will was great wise and fun to spend the day with.
Phillip
Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

All perfect
Amanda
Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
