Gray jay, Isle Royale National Park.
Isle royale is truly one of the most beautiful places I have visited. I truly feel a deeper connection with nature, and the soil beneath us.
I consider myself a pretty fit person, but the trails are made up of some of the most humbling terrain I have ever experienced. Extremely rocky terrain manipulates your ankles and feet in every position they have never been in. This along with traversing large slabs of rocks sloping into the lakeside makes for a difficult hike, especially when you’re carrying a 50 pound pack and holding a camera in your hand the entire time.
All of the grueling terrain was worth it, just to have the opportunity to experience this beautiful, and truly wild place. Next time you need to truly ground yourself and recharge your soul, you know where to go.
Until next time Isle Royale.
