Isle Royale National Park offers the quintessential solitude, clean air, crystal clear waters of the North Woods. This scene is at Rock Harbor, but similar scenes are repeated all along the island’s rugged shore. (Photo by Art Weber)

Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior isn’t for everyone.
It’s wild, remote and the least-visited national park in the lower 48 states, but one of the most beautifully fascinating. No one lives there year-round. Most of the year, there are more wolves and moose than people.

At some point in our lives, we all can use a little help down the trail aging baby boomers, a toddler, a parent pushing a stroller, an expectant mother, somebody who walks with a cane, somebody else who suffers from asthma.
The days of covering 20 miles with a 30-pound pack on our back might be a thing of the past, but not the desire to spend an afternoon in the woods seeing where this winding footpath takes us.
