Hikes
You can actually hike along the North Country Trail across Michigan's Upper Peninsula from the Mackinac Bridge to the western tip. One person this year did it alone in the middle of winter. Below are our picks of various kinds of shorter hikes, some only a few miles, some good for remote backpacking: Most offer the opportunity to escape human development and, for that matter, other humans, too.
