Скачать или смотреть My First Backpacking Trip on the Manistee River Loop

In this video, we take on the Manistee River Loop — one of Michigan’s most beautiful backpacking trails. From September 12th to 15th, we hiked the full 23-mile loop, combining the Manistee River Trail and North Country Trail through the heart of Manistee National Forest.

Expect miles of ridge views, riverside campsites, and the iconic suspension bridge that makes this trail unforgettable. The weather gave us a bit of everything — warm days, cool nights, and plenty of adventure in between.

Thanks to June for completing the loop with me!

📍 Location: Manistee National Forest, Michigan
🎒 Trail: Manistee River Loop (MRT + NCT)
