As the summer outdoor work season winds down for me I’ve been on the hunt for loop trail to hike say 5-6 hours from the Chicago area. I’m thinking maybe the Manistee loop trail but sure do like heading to Wisconsin too.
Also if there is someone out there that isn’t big on or just doesn’t want to solo hike pipe up I’m cool with meeting new people. If your close to the area to be hiked then maybe an end to end trail is doable. A loop just makes it so much easier not having to get rides or drive back and forth.
It’s been a very busy summer with only 3 full weekends off since spring. I’d prefer north of me but open to suggestions anywhere else. I don’t like the idea of staying in a trail hut preferring dispersed camping so I can hang and a trail maybe 20-30 miles in length. I’m thinking about three weeks out and maybe during the week instead of weekend. I’ll be flexible with the days though.
The term “I’m cool with it” probable dates me.
