Isle Royale National Park . . . vast stretches of northern hardwoods and boreal forests that blend into chains of lakes, streams, rocky outcrops and shorelines . . . ever-present Lake Superior . . . the serenity of a sunset over aglassy-calm lake . . . a crisp, fall morning with geese overhead . . . northern lights with loons and wolves calling throughout the night . . . the companionship of hardy souls and the trappings of packs, boots, tents and boats . . . spirits full of adventure and an appreciation for the intangible values that wildlands can instill within us . . .
