We backpacked across Isle Royale National Park: The LEAST visited in the lower 48!

A HUGE thank you to LMNT for sponsoring this video! 🎉 Head to http://DrinkLMNT.com/APLUSK to get your free sample pack with any purchase. We backpacked across our 54th US National Park: Isle Royale! Over 5 days of hiking we tackled 50+ miles, crossing the entire island from Windigo to Rock Harbor. Along the way we experienced the park's forests, inland lakes, rugged Lake Superior shoreline, and famous wildlife, all while tent camping and staying in the park's wooden shelters. And the best part? Some of our best friends, @SchoandJo and @KatieandJoeontheGo, joined us! 📅 This video was filmed in late June-early July 2026 🗺️ Our Isle Royale backpacking route: https://links.adventuresofaplusk.com/... 🎒Get backpacking tips and see our gear: https://stokedtocamp.com/backpacking/ 💸 Want to have offline map access?
