Questions about a probable Isle Royale trip

[greatlaker]

I have a few questions regarding a probable Isle Royale trip:

• Would I be missing anything if I took the water taxi to the Rock Harbor Lighthouse/Edisen Fishery as opposed to the MV Sandy?
• Is Passage Island worth visiting?
• How long does it take to hike Mt Ojibway from Daisy Farm (roundtrip)

Thanks

One plus for the MV Sandy, particularly if you have not been to IR before, often they have an Interpretive Ranger along who can give you history ect. of IR and Rock Harbor.

Another option would be to rent a small motorboat from the concessionaire and take your time going down Rock Harbor if you are comfortable doing so.
I have not been to Passage Island, it is on my list to go there.

To hike to Mt Ojibway,ebjoy the views of the tower and back, figure a few hours at least depending on how you hike.

you'll miss suzy's cave, which is a neat little spot.

passage island is awesome. there aren't any moose so the vascular flora is very diverse, even compared to the big island. i also saw eagles, rare butterflies like mitchell's satyr, and some strange frogs.
