Thank you for the info. I'm thinking 10 miles a day at most is very doable. I'm also planning on a couple zero days to just kick back and relax.

Hi Everyone! Have a 10 day trip planned, starting August 18. First time to the Island. I was planning on taking the water taxi to Malone bay and starting from there. How difficult is the hike up to lake Desor for the average person? I will have a first time hiker with me and want it to be enjoyable ...
