Laurel Mountain (11,812') is an impressive mountain in its own right. Looking up at the huge northeast face of the mountain, there is nothing diminutive about it; towering over 4,000 ft. above Convict Lake, it commands the attention of all in the valley. Though more inconspicuous from its other aspects, it is nonetheless visible from Mammoth Lakes, farther north on 395, & from the White Mountains, as well.

The Minong Ridge Trail is widely considered the toughest trail on Isle Royale National Park. At just under 28 miles, the trail follows the Minong Ridge on the north side of the island from Windigo to McCargoe Cove. The trail is also the least traveled trail on the island, so vegetation engulfs it. The later in the season, the more vegetation you will encounter. I would suggest attempting this trail in May or early June when the vegetation isn't up to your head.
