In assembling my hikes for this Summer, I ended up with a chunk of time where I have nothing planned. From late April to mid June I'm thru hiking the Grand Enchantment Trail, then doing some exploring in the gorge of the Little Colorado River. Then beginning @ mid July I'm yo-yoing the Sierra High Route until I have to go back to work 2nd week of August.
So I need a good trip to do from @ Mid June to Mid July. Preferably with little to no people. I'm thinking about hiking along the International Passage / Voyageurs Route from Grand Portage, Minnesota through the Boundary Waters over to Ely, most of which I've done and it was bushwackin' fun. Mosquitos would be bad, but that's expected.
It'll be getting a bit too hot for the desert Southwest, and probably a bit too early in the season for most of the high country in the Rockies and Cascades, so I've been looking at more Eastern stuff, but don't want to redo any of the AT or LT yet. Bike trip, paddle, hike, whatever. What would be good this time of year?
