Isle Royale National Park (May 2013)

Images from my solo four-night trek to Isle Royale National Park over Memorial Day weekend, 2013.

The Ranger III, the ferry from Houghton to Rock Harbor.

The channel lighthouse, entering Lake Michigan.

A lovely view from the island's spine.

The lighthouse marking the channel toward Rock Harbor.

North, toward Canada.

The closest I came to seeing moose.

My last day on the island, this little fella hovered around my camp for hours.

From the spine, edited with an oil-painting effect to compensate for lens blur.

The first-night campsite was apparently a major meeting ground for the island's hares.

Graffiti in a lean-to shelter.

A copper mine, from hundreds or thousands of years ago. Straight down.

As much of a "field" as you'll find on the island.

Just before my return to Houghton.

A view of the trail. See the cairn?

The trail, near the spine.

The trail, along the north shore.

The trail, easy to find for once.

The trail upon the bedrock.

Trees, in all their early-summer majesty.
