Hiking Plans Summer 2015

Our planning process has started for summer 2015. This year we will hike and stay overnight on the trails as we get more into longer distance hiking.

We are planning a return to northern Minnesota and the Boundary Waters area. This time we plan to camp at a state park along the SHT. The state park will determine what part of the trail we hike. Last year we enjoyed visiting Grand Marais and look forward to visiting again.

As the SHT is part of the North Country Trail (or is that vice-versa?) we now plan hiking the NCT in Michigan.  The Manistee-Huron National Forest looks a good area to hike. The Spirit of the Woods Chapter cares for the trail in this area. We are already in contact with this chapter about a possible shuttle.




The Ozarks Trail looks interesting and beautiful. Our thought is to start the northern end of the trail hiking the Courtois section. The Onondaga Cave State Park obviously has a cave to explore along with great hiking on the OT. We are already in contact with two possible shuttle solutions.

More to come!
