Jesse and I have made our first summer hiking plans!!!! After our semesters are over, we are going on a 5-day hike! We leave late May5th or early May 6th for one of a couple destinations. We are thinking either a loop near Lewiston, MI, or punching out a few more miles on the North Country Trail. If we do the NCT, we will probably hit the trail near the Grand Rapids area, since it will be warmer, and save the UP for later in the summer.
We also hope to tackle more of the Michigan Shore to Shore trail this summer. We got 8 beautiful miles out of the way along the Au Sable near the Huron Forest while prepping for our AT thru hike, but there's over 200 miles more!
There are a surprising number of trails in Michigan when you sit down and start to plan. I realize they aren't as fun as the Finger Lakes Trail or those found in the ADKs., amd I want to hike more of those regions, too, but Michigan has a lot of gems. And I hope that this summer we can share a few of them with you!
