House sold! Time to celebrate! We headed to Northern Michigan for a beautiful Memorial Day weekend. Temperatures in the 60's and 70's and sunny skies made for fantastic hiking and rollerblading. First stop: the Manistee River Trail in the Manistee National Forest. We followed the meandering river for about a 4 hour/8-9 mile hike, taking time to sit out and enjoy the sun and the river. Lovely.
After our hike, we purchased some local morel mushrooms (expensive, but delicious) and headed north to Traverse City for dinner at North Peak Brewing Company - always a favorite. Sunday and Monday left ample time for hanging out with family in Charlevoix, rollerblading 21 miles on the Little Traverse Wheelway, and checking out another hike south of Boyne Falls. From Deadman's Hill Overlook, you can make a 3-mile loop through the Jordan River Valley. Check out the trail blanketed in cottonwood seed like snow and other trail views below.
