I vaguely remember some additional restrictions/ no availability for covid last year but have not found the policy for this summer.

Re: Queen info update

I was just on the Queens website and it was only saying the September 11 through the end of the year. Which aligns more with the RFQ and construction logic.

Re: Transportation from the island

You could go Rh to W that way you arrive on the ranger and fly home. Plane schedule is more fluid. Also there is a taxi the runs from copper harbor to Houghton. So the queen is possible too. We took that taxi once.

Re: Clothing in June

I hiked in wet shoes nearly everyday this summer. All from morning dew. I used a pair of gaiters in high school and bought another pair that I will be taking each trip.

Honestly, any side trip to avoid either of the Chickenbones is worth it. McCargoe or Richie are both great.
