Michigan Trails Report
Join Tom Funke, author of 50 Hikes in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula & 50 Hikes on the North Country Trail as he explores Michigan through the eyes of a hiker & backpackpacker. Podcasts are released Mondays and Thursdays. On the first Monday of the month is our rundown of trail conditions, reservation system status, and even a hike of the month. The rest of the month, enjoy some Hiking History, and excerpt out of one of my two books, travel narratives, and I’ll have a series of podcasts like the Lewis Cass Expedition.
