For 2020 we recently decided to scrap a two week planned vacation to Yellowstone during the busiest time of the year to embark on a family backpacking adventure on Isle Royale. Everyone is excited and now the serious planning begins!
We are planning to backpack this June with our 4 kids (18,16,12,8 ) Younger kids have zero backpacking experience, but have done numerous, long, day hikes in Acadia for the past 4 summers. Older girls have done above plus backpacked at Manitou and on NCT. We plan to do an 10-15 mile overnight test run of our gear before embarkation. Hoping this trip will be a beginning, not an end
This is our plan...
Saturday Day 1- Arrive RH via Queen IV, take water taxi to CH
Day 2- Hike CH to MB
Day 3- Hike MB to DF
Day 4- Hike DF to LC
Day 5- Hike LC to RH
Day 6- Stay at RH lodge/ or hopefully cottages and explore eastern area
