What are some of the best books for planning a trip to isle royale? I am planning a trip for summer of 2017 and want to do lots of research to ensure a fun trip.
Thanks

Re: Books
The Isle Royale & Keweenaw Parks Association website, that is linked in johnhens post, has plenty of related reading material to fill a home library.
Besides just the guidebook, there is a package of "guidebook, map, & checklist" that is a good deal.
I believe they give 10% discount if you become a member of their association first.
Some of the publications available to purchase through the association, might be at your local library.
I forgot to mention the parks newsletter as a great planning resource.

"And standing on the the crest of the Greenstone Ridge, I suddenly had this desire to retreat north to where I just come, to stay in the backcountry, to spend another day in a place where the only deadline I had was to pitch the tent before dark."
