Voyageurs National Park - Chain of Lakes 2024
Here are some highlights from our 2024 Voyageurs National Park trip. We spent 5 days and 4 nights exploring the beautiful park hiking, paddling, and fishing along the way. Our itinerary went as follows:
Day 1: Water taxi to Locator Lake trail head then hike 2 miles to boats, followed with a paddle to War Club Lake backcountry site for the night.
Day 2: War Club Lake site paddle to Loiten Lake site. Two portages this day.
Day 3: Loiten Lake site paddle back to Quil Lake site. One portage this day.
Day 4: Quil Lake site paddle to Locator Lake site. One portage this day.
Day 5: Locator Lake site paddle to boat drop off then hike back to Locator Lake trail head and water taxi out.
The trip consisted of stunning views, great fishing, lots of wildlife viewing, and privacy as there is only one backcountry site per lake. Be warned, this trip is not for the faint of heart, you must be prepared and comfortable with multiple portages, temperamental weather, and hoards or ticks and mosquitoes. But if you can manage these things this is a once in a lifetime experience that is well worth the effort!

Here are the highlights of a backpacking trip in the UP taken in July of 2022. Our route was around 20 miles total, so relatively short and went as follows: -Start at the Lake of the Clouds trail head and head E/NE on the Escarpment trail. Make sure to bring enough water, there’s none on the ridge. -After about 4 miles take the trail south till you hit Government Peak Trail, then proceed west -...
Grand Canyon National Park - 2020

The desert is no joke. This 30 mile loop in the Grand Canyon was by far the most difficult and humbling backpacking trip of our lives. From scaling sheer rock faces with packs, walking along top 100 foot cliff faces, and the obvious heat and lack of water, the canyon is NOT for the faint of heart. That being said, with proper planing and preparation this hike is worth every bit of the struggle ...

After inclement weather forced us to cancel our backpacking trip in the backcountry of Denali, we pivoted and did a down and back to the Triple Lakes chain of Denali in September of 2021. This short overnight offered spectacular views, mountain lakes full of Arctic Grayling to catch on flys, and a breathtaking night sky. With the extra time we had we did a day hike of Mt. Healy after packing ou...
