Скачать или смотреть Backpacking Michigan's Manistee River Loop

Follow along as I FINALLY get back on the trail after a (too) long hiatus. I decided to head back to one of my favorite backpacking destinations within driving distance of Chicago - the Manistee River Loop in Michigan's Manistee National Forest.

This is a 20-mile loop and is often started at the Upper River Road Trailhead and hiked clockwise by first taking the North Country Trail, crossing a suspension bridge, then heading south on the Manistee River Trail, which has plentiful (and often beautiful) campsites and views.

Welcome to my random musings on all things backpacking. If you haven't already guessed, my name is Dan. I was bit by the backpacking bug in 2014 and since then haven't gone one day without thinking about my next adventure. I'm from Chicago, a great city but...not so much known for its bountiful backpacking opportunities. Nevertheless, I haven't let that stop me from enjoying the outdoors. Hope my videos leave you with one or two takeaways, or even better, inspire you to head out on the trail. Thanks for watching! Have fun out there!
