The North Loop taught me to stop trusting my printed map
I ran the North Loop in Isle Royale last month and had to bail at Day 3 because a creek crossing I'd circled on my 2019 map was just gone. The beavers had redone the whole drainage, and the 'trail' I was following turned into a swamp up to my knees. I spent 4 hours backtracking to the ranger station, and that's when I realized I hadn't checked for trail updates in almost two seasons. Now I pull current condition reports from the park site before I even pack my boots. Has anyone else had a map change that forced you to scrap a whole day?
