I'm pretty sure that's it... my family is big into hitting the National Parks, but only in the West. I've seen most of the National monuments and such throughout California and Oregon too.

I am planning to go for Isle Royale later this month. Anyone has been there? The annual visit in this park is less than Yellowstone in one day.

I was there about eight years ago. It is very beautiful and serene. The island is basically for hikers/boaters. You have proper hiking gear, correct? I believe there are some places to stay at the boat launch for non-hikers, but you won't get to see much if you stay there.

I saw a lot of wildlife while there, including a bull moose about twenty feet away eating lake grass when we woke up one morning. We also saw a cow and her calf while walking down a trail about ten feet away--that was actually a bit scary as they can attack.

Be sure to bring a water filter so you don't get parasites and also an extra water bottle. We ran out one day for about four hours.
