Great photos.

I kept waiting for a few shots of the rare female hiker, but I guess you kept those for yourself.

Hey pizza,

Thanks for a great trip report and sharing the photos, it is great to see the areas that others get to hike in.

Thanks pizza. This one caught my eye in particular because me and my older 2 sons are hiking on the SHT at the end of June. Up by Grand Marais is one of the areas I'm scoping.

The reference to the state park and showers was particularly useful, as we need to be clean and sweet smelling human beings by the time we get home, so I've booked a site at that park for the last night out, in the walk-in camping area. Do you suppose we are reasonably assured of being able to find hanging trees, or ought we to bring a tent for insurance?

thanks

Hey Grizz, I stayed at walk-in site number 24. That one could probably accommodate a couple hammocks. I didn't get a real good look at sites 23 and 25 which are the other two walk in sites. You might want to bring a tent just in case but chances are you'll probably be able to find some trees to hang from. The drive in sites that I scoped out driving around the loop weren't too good for hammocks because most of the trees were too small or outside the camping space but the walk in site I was at worked out fine.

I added part 1 of the video to the first post in this thread. This was a 4.1 mile hike from Woods Creek Parking Lot to the Cliff Creek campsite.

pizza - great pics....how do you like those bear grylls pants? did you get a larger size than what you'd normally wear and are they a little tight around your boots? i've got the kiwi's and are fine with shoes but not my asolo flames.

+1 on the pants. After I saw them on a weekend trip with Pizza last year, I bought a pair (Extra Long even!) for myself. Well made, LOTS of pockets, nice weight. What can I say, Pizza has good taste!
