Isle Royale Part 3: The Hike

July 19th, 2007

The hike from McCargoe Cove in the middle of the island to Windigo on the western end is about 32 miles via the rugged Minong Ridge. I covered the distance in four days — a leisurely pace.

During the days, I was treated to breathtaking views of the island, the lake, and Canada.


Each night, I camped near the shore of either Lake Superior or an inland lake. Nothing is better for sleep than the gentle lapping of water on rocks.

Throughout the trip, I enjoyed the solitude. It was pure relaxation. It was Nirvana.
