Getting out to the Colorado Trail to do my first long distance hike this summer. Coming from purely Michigan hiking it is going to be like a whole new world!
There's some amazing coastal trails on the Canadian side of Lake Superior in Pukaskwa National Park and Lake Superior Provincial Park if you've never been. My wife and I are going to Isle Royale this year for the first time and we're super excited!
Great job on your videos. Been following for some time. I'm sure many have asked you this already, but have you thought of doing part of the Great Divide Trail that borders Alberta and BC along the continental divide? I assure you it wouldn't disappoint.
I did the whole trail the year after completing the CDT. The story is actually in my book "Crossing the Divide." Would love to do it again. Keep Smilin'
The trail around Marquette isn’t that developed. Maybe it’s more like a city hike from mile 272.5 to 292.5, with great eating opportunities in Marquette. Depending on your perspective and familiarity with Marquette, the walk through town can seem less so due to all the Lake Superior scenery. Marquette is a small town and the trail uses public land (parks) for much of the way. It’s hardly “urban,” in any event, at least not when compared to a truly large Michigan city like Detroit or Grand Rapids, or even a big college town like Ann Arbor.
I grew up in Ohio and up am planning a trek through Ohio and then up to Pictured Rocks - when do you think the best time of year to do that is ? I was considering Septemberish...? TY
Sept. And even into October a couple weeks would be great. I have a video on a 4 day in October last year. It's magical when the color peaks. Keep Smilin'
I wish you a good season ! 😊
You also. Keep Smilin'

Lots of elevation. Like eating an elephant, one bite at a time. Keep Smilin'

Have hiked over the years on Canada side of Superior. You'll love Isle Royale. Keep Smilin'

Thanks. I do like eating opportunities. Marquette is a beautiful town. Keep Smilin'

I have a question for you, and maybe I’m just hearing you wrong… What do you mean in your videos by soup waffles?
