I am planning on hiking a section of the IAT in late April. I checked out:

and the Firth Lake, Harwood Lakes, Chippewa Moraine sections have me pretty intrigued. Living in Omaha, I'm trying to avoid having to drive for more than 8 hours or so, otherwise I would be looking at Jerry Lake (another trip perhaps).

Anyone have any experience on these sections? My friend and I are looking for something remote, moderately challenging, with some good wow spots. One drawback is that the combined mileage is only 19 miles - this would make a pretty quick 3 day trip - which is all we'll have time for.

The KM sections are another possibility, but I thought maybe they were a little too popular for the remote'ish feel we were looking for (???)

Thanks much
