Sample Itinerary
DAY 1: Drive up the North Shore of Lake Superior to Finland Recreation Center where our trip officially begins. Backpack for 2 hours then settle into the campsite and get acquainted with our group over dinner and a campfire. Spend the first night listening to the waves of Egge lake.

DAY 2: Arise for an early breakfast, pack up, and follow the trail past the Old Trappers cabin, Sonju Lake to the Baptism River. This is about 3 hours of backpacking.

DAY 3: Follow the trail to Crosby-Manitou State Park. SHT crosses the road and follows the entrance road into the park. There is a water spigot with fresh water near the self-registration sign.

DAY 4: Hike from campsite within park to West Caribou River. There will be spurs along the way to great overlooks that could be good spots for lunch. This is the most difficult section. Be prepared for steep climbs and descents. Make sure to fill water up at the Caribou River Bridge on your way out of Crosby-Manitou State Park.

DAY 5: Trailhead: Caribou River Wayside – After one last breakfast, backpack about an hour to the West Caribou River Wayside. Bid farewell to the Superior shoreline and newfound friends. Pack up belongings and hit the road after lunch.
