I am one of the friends he mentioned and we were thinking S. Desor, Todd Harbor, McCargoe Cove, and Chippewa. Any suggestions for those locations or anything on the way?

Re: First Time Trip Plan - Need Feedback/Advice

Thank you everyone for the great advice! Do you think if I have gaiters and hiking boots the rain/mud issue will be minimized?
