I am going in on Nina Moose North and looking at a map and got to wondering. When I exit can I take the Echo trail to 24 to 23 to 53 or would I just be better off going back to Ely. I don't know much about Echo trail west of Nina Moose, 23 or 24. Thanks

Yeah, the fastest way from the Moose river parking lot to civilization is to take the Echo Trail to 24 to 23 to Orr and then hop on 53. There is no turn you have to take after you get off of the Echo Trail, just follow the tar road to Orr. The western Echo Trail while still gravel is quite a bit wider and straighter than the chunk between the Moose river and Ely.
If you want the scenic route, taking Highway 24 into Cook (turn left at the VRT) is a beautiful drive, but it's a windy gravel road and will take some extra time.

Yeah, it’s way faster, if you don’t need to stop in Ely for anything. There’s a couple of awesome dive bars in Orr with great food and cheap booze if you’re looking for a stop to grab a bite/drink.
