But we have done numerous hikes in the past to the Porkies, North Manitou, SHT, Parts of the NCT, etc. Thanks for the info and all of your great trip reports.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-80388822316483647482012-04-10T04:36:33.687-07:002012-04-10T04:36:33.687-07:00Anonymous,
This trip is not so fresh in my memory ...Anonymous,<br />This trip is not so fresh in my memory anymore, but I do not remember the terrain being difficult at all. I remember that going from Mather Beach to the north side of the island had some uphill stretches, but they were not steep - just a gradual, steady uphill walk. Same on the way from the north side to Trout Bay - some steady uphill, but nothing steep, and I don't remember any significant, steep descents as we got close to the bay. <br /><br />Overall, this was a really nice and fairly easy hike. Will this be you and/or your wife's first trip?Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394471787954690021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-59594561589574383242012-04-09T19:30:26.276-07:002012-04-09T19:30:26.276-07:00My wife nd I are thinking of doing your same route...My wife nd I are thinking of doing your same route. My wife was wondering how steep the hills are going from Mather beach up to the Northern campsites and how steep they are going from the Northern sites down to Trout Bay?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-65543585314977233912010-05-12T13:20:19.683-07:002010-05-12T13:20:19.683-07:00I enjoyed your Grand Island blog.

Living in WI and only a few short hours from Munising, I hope to visit there more then once this coming season. Thanks again.B-Radhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16956272636365266123noreply@blogger.com
