The first, short program will give us a brief insight into Inner City Outings, the Club's outreach program which provides wilderness experiences for disadvantaged kids, helping them become better stewards of our environment. Then we'll take a pictorial journey of her adventures backpacking Isle Royale National Park, one of the most beautiful, unique and remote of our national parks. International Biosphere, Wolf/Moose Study, day trips to weeks of wilderness backpacking, canoeing, this island has it all. Voted one of the most serene of all national parks, it's the only one to completely close for winter months, yet it has the most repeat visitors. Come learn what makes this place so special!
