Great place here all- looking through the threads and thinking this might work, would appreciate any comments-

Itinerary -

- Daisy Farm 7.1
- McCargoe Cove 8.0
- Chippewa Harbor 10.6
- Moskey Basin 6.2
- Three Mile 8.3
- Rock Harbor 2.7 to get to the 2:45 boat out

Best regards, Tony

You're hitting all the favorites! I might head out for Daisy right off the boat on day 1--that would give you a layover day along the way.

I agree. If you don't take a zero day, that would also let you spend your last night in RH and do the Stoll trail that morning before jumping on the boat.

I agree with everyone above. One thing to consider though: Have you hiked these kinds of distances, with a loaded pack, on Isle Royale-type terrain? Even if you're regularly doing 8-10 miles in other parts of Michigan, the island can surprise you. You know yourself best, of course! But for myself, I wouldn't want to do those numbers of miles back-to-back without a break somewhere.
