Day 5: Apikuni Falls, Baring Falls, St. Mary's Falls, Virginia Falls and Avalanche Lake AKA as hiking all day with a wedgie.
Originally, the plan for the day was a 10.8 mile hike to Otokomi Lake. After speaking with a Park Ranger, who informed me that the hike would be hot and very buggy, I opted for several smaller hikes to waterfalls and Avalanche Lake. It was probably a wise decision, not only to avoid the heat and bugs, but also because I was suffering with an eternal wedgie, courtesy of my last pair of clean pants and undies.
Favorite View: Apikuni Falls
You're able to get so close that you can almost stand underneath it.
And it makes pretty rainbows...
Lesson learned: After five days of consecutive hiking, walking up hill is definitely more pleasant than walking down hill and anything is more pleasant than hiking with a wedgie.
