Day 2: Rest/Recover/Prep/Fish/Day Hikes. This day will be used to scout out the best route up and over to the next campsite, which will be an off-trail traverse. We will stay at the Lake Verna Campsite again.

Day 3: Traverse off trail from Lake Verna campsite to the Porcupine Campsite. This will undoubtedly be the most difficult day of the trip. We are able to make campfires at this site.

Day 4: Rest/Recover/Fish/Day Hikes. This day will be used to recover from the difficult traverse from Day 3 and also a great day for fishing and day hikes. We will stay at the Porcupine Campsite again (although this is flexible, we can stay at basically any campsite in the North Inlet Area, see the North Inlet Area Map to check out some other possibilities).

Day 5: This is the last day of the trip. This day will simply be the hike back to the North Inlet Trailhead, where some of the cars will be parked and then we will head home.
