Required Gear for Guided Isle Royale Excursions:
Please remember the lighter your pack the more comfortable the journey. Reach out and talk to us if you have any questions about food and clothing.
Be sure to talk with us about your previous hiking/backpacking experience. If you know your own backcountry food needs, we understand. By all means use your own judgement and experience for choosing your own food. Remember, outside of Rock Harbor and Windigo, what you bring is all you will have, but all you have is what you have to carry.
