Sandy, trails are rooted, rocky and up and down - but you'll have a blast. Did 8 days and the first two kicked my butt, then it was better each day from there. 5' 10" at 210# I had a lot of fun even with 50+ in my pack, I just kept thinking it was "mind over matter". Take your time and smell the ...

Just returned from a 9 day trip from 7/13 - 7/22 with a group of 10. I am convinced that the park rangers have the animals locked up during the day and only let them out during the night. There is no wolves, moose, beavers and there is only one fox and one adult eagle. Of course this isn't true but ...

Getting ready for our first trip next Tuesday. What are the prices for one nights stay at the lodge and menu prices ranges at the lodge at RH. Courious to know as we plan to be eating our first real meal after 8 days on the trail. Any recommendations on the menu?

Things bring a question to my mind. What about the group sites? I have read and view campsite maps and learned that no shelters are available at the group sites, but what about picnic tables?

In two weeks we will begin at 8 night 9 day trek on IR in our first trip to the island. Two nights consecutively will be spent at Mccargoe Cove in the group site. Is it recommended to pack up your supplies/gear for the stay as you explore for the day or is it okay to leave camp set up? Is thievery a ...

Thank you for the info, this will help as we are less then 4 weeks away from "Game On".

Is there lockers or storage area for personnel supplies while you are hiking at Rock Harbor? This would be used to place clean clothes and toiletries for the boat ride back to the mainland.

We're traveling with a group of 10 with each having a 5000 or slightly larger packs. Starting at Rock H. and going to McCargo Cove and back to Rock H. Having enough food for each day plus one extra is being planned, so everyone will be loaded to the top. Does this change the mindset?

Getting ready, any suggestions on packing the backpack? Do I want to pack as much as I can inside or attach larger items outside? All suggestions welcome for a 8 night stay.

Thank you to all for your input, this helps and we are looking into change our plan from E. Chickenbone. More questions will be coming I am sure, Thanks.
