About the Event
This challenging adventure is open to 10 experienced and foul-weather savvy backpackers.
ROUTE HIGHLIGHTS: Our 20-mile route will include about 13 miles of maintained foot-trails and 7 miles of rugged, off trail, cross-country travel (tangled, swampy, muddy, steep, wet, bug-infested bush). Our route and pace still allow plenty of time to explore, enjoy, and soak up the best Pictured Rocks has to offer, including...
Miles of hiking some of the best cliff-side trails in the Midwest
Exploring several of the lakeshore's most beautiful waterfalls
Hours of afternoon swimming and lounging
Exploring seldom-visited caves and caverns
