Day 4 would be considered Greenstone Ridge trail at this point, the flagship trail, and offers great views from Mt Ojibway (highest point on island). The landscape becomes even more dynamic, with views of ridgelines, islands, Lake Superior, multiple inlets and ponds, as well as more wildlife.

A wolf track I came across, saw a few different ones throughout the day and heard some from a distance final night, but this is as close as I got to one.

Two Common Goldeneye chicks drifting about nearshore. This was about as far as they were willing to follow the mother away from the shore and my disturbance.

A female Common Merganser seen from the dock at Rock Harbor. Seven chicks are just out of frame and were following along in the harbor area.
