Hikes · Michigan
Best hikes in Michigan.
Michigan hiking is the Great Lakes shore — Pictured Rocks’ painted cliffs and sea caves over Lake Superior, and the dunes of Sleeping Bear over Lake Michigan. It’s a summer-and-fall range; the Upper Peninsula is buggy in early summer and snowbound for half the year. Freshwater coast at its wildest.
