Backpacking circumnavigation of IR
Posted: Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:53 am
So a buddy and I have planned this trip, in 2 weeks, to backpack from RH to Windigo, including the Feldmann loop, and then doing the Minong back and around to RH. This will be our second trip to the island, and we are pretty experienced backpackers on other trails as well. My planning has landed me with the following outline. I know this trip is doable for both of us, however I would like to try and cut down on some of the longer days and even out the trip if possible, figured I would post it and see if anyone had any advice. We definitely want to hit Little Todd and do the Feldmann loop, the rest is up in the air. Backcountry isn't out of the question, I just wasn't sure were to fit it in. Side note, my friend just informed me that he has some work related issues and may not be able to do the trip, in which case there is a chance I will be doing this alone (if that makes a difference). I look forward to hopefully getting some input.
Thanks!
