Was hoping to hear from some folks who have experience with this trail. From what I've heard over the years it's supposed to be pretty amazing. The website doesn't give all that much detail in terms of thru-hiking information so I will get around to ordering the guidebook in the coming weeks.
Anyhow, would like to know more about:
- Public transportation to the beginning of the trail near Duluth
- Resupply points along the way
- Weather information for a hike starting end of September
- Condition of trail, blazes, signs, etc...
- Wildlife, bears, etc...
- Terrain
- Lake effect in terms of weather, snow
Any information would be appreciated.
