MANISTEE RIVER TRAIL HIKE INFORMATION
Manistee River Trail is part of the North Country Trail and one of the finest hiking venues in all the Midwest. This is the final hike and the 2nd qualifier Test Hike for the Grand Canyon Extreme Hike
this fall. While the Test Hike is the primary purpose for this
excursion it is also open to others who wish to hike just to enjoy the
splendor of this prime location. Many veterans of past trips, training
partners and other running and hiking friends of Coach Gunn will join
us to hike some measure of this course for the shear enjoyment and
beauty of the Manistee River Trail. All are welcome to join us for this weekend adventure.
A variety of distance options are available for those
who have not trained or have no need to tackle the full 27.6 mile
course. Everyone will sign in and sign out for safety. Vans provide
drop off stops for a full range of distance options. Three water stop
and safety checks are provided during this breathtakingly scenic course
through deep forest and along the winding Manistee River.
This trip is open to Training Partners, veterans of past Cairn Stone trips, MNRC members, or any newcomers who might want to join us just for this awesome hike.
