50 hikes on Michigan & Wisconsin's North Country Trail
Book - 2016
"In the same class as the Appalachian Trail, the North Country National Scenic Trail is over twice as long as its older cousin, stretching from Upstate New York to North Dakota. But some of the most beautiful and scenic spots lie in Michigan and Wisconsin. 50 Hikes on Michigan & Wisconsin's North Country Trail is a guidebook for both the day hiker and the long-distance back-packer. With full-color maps and elevation profiles, it covers nearly 1,000 miles of trail and connecting routes. As with all the books in the 50 Hikes series, you'll find clear and concise directions, easy-to-follow maps, and expert tips for enjoying what each hike has to offer -- whether it's staggering cliffs, rushing rapids, lush foliage, or s...erene lakes."--Back cover.
