Minong_Ridge_FKT (1).gpx6.22 MB
Report
By far the toughest trail on Isle Royale. The first 25k was basically a power hike. Crossed 4 beaver ponds, and lost the trail at least a dozen times on the bare ridge. Some trail maintenance would be nice! If anybody is wanting to run this trail/go for a faster FKT I would recommend running it in early May when there is no vegetation. A lot of the trail is just not runnable. I would have like to have been around 5 hours. I think an FKT of 4:45:00 is doable.
