Throwing in my two cents here but if you can, go to Isle Royale and backpack. Hell, just day hiking would rule.

Legitimately one of my favorite places I've been in my 5-6 odd years of backpacking during the summer.

IR is amazing, but yeah its a bit of an event getting there. The Seaplane is a must. 45 minutes vs 4-6 hours and extremely cool views of the island. My buddies and I did it for a our first real backpacking trip, and we still talk about going back because now it would be easy mode. Plus we never saw a damned moose despite them walking past our tents at night.

Sorry for the derail in advance.

Seeing a moose up close and in person will unlock a new fear you didn't know you had. The fuckers will sometimes lay in the brush next to the trail and you wouldn't even know they're there until you hear a "you're too close, bro" snort and a boulder with legs stands up and is as tall as you are... At the shoulders.

How much did a sea plane run? I've been to IR twice and yeah being able to get there and back to shore (especially since you want nothing more than to sleep and shower after getting out of the woods) sounds excellent.
