This concise, authoritative guide by seasoned travel author and backpacker Jim DuFresne offers everything you should know about backpacking Michigan’s trails, footpaths, state forests and back country areas. It’s an easy read, interspersed with interesting photos and tips (“when I’m 64″ and “hiking with kids”), and in addition to maps to complement the text, provides info on exactly where to get the best topo/detail maps for each area. The “trails at a glance” offers a quick overview of each trail by area, including distance, number of days to hike, difficulty, nearest town and highlights along the way. It’s easily-packed and a great take-with guide for any foray into Michigan’s trails or back woods!
