Sandstone cliffs, beaches, sand dunes, waterfalls, lakes, forest, and wild shoreline all encompassed with Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The Lakeshore hugs the Lake Superior shoreline for more than 40 miles. Lake Superior is the largest, deepest, coldest, and most pristine of all the Great Lakes. Wildlife is abundant within the park and includes black bear, wolves, bald eagles, loons and moose. We will spend our time hiking, camping, swimming, cooking for ourselves, and exploring the park's hidden wonders. Participants will hike along the coastal trail and within the interior trail systems of the park and will camp and cook in remote backcountry sites. We’ll also take time to explore outside the boundary of the park to find historic lighthouses and lifesaving stations. Hiking will range from easy to moderate depending on terrain. The trip belongs to the whole group, so every camper will be part of the leadership and decision making of our adventure.
