Planning is the key
—
 Collecting as many resources as you can, will aid in your understanding of the area you
intend to hike. Don't rely on hear-say about a given area, be prepared. Here in the Upper Peninsula,
there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of hiking trails to choose from. Most are easily accessible,
though there are other trails that will extend into thick forests having rough terrain, bog marches,
swamped river sides and steep hill climbs- just to name a few. Get the hiking information advantage before embarking
you soles to the soil.
Equipment essentials
—
 For day hikes, you really don't need much to have a pleasurable hiking experience. First and most
importantly, good quality foot ware is suggested. You don't need to have tired or sore feet while traveling and
you certainly don't want to encounter any pain after you've completed your hike.
Food and water is you next
concern. Having a good hearty breakfast a couple of hours before departure will provide lasting energy until
you stop for lunch. Meals should be nutritious, lightweight and easy to pack. Remember- you'll have carry out
what you pack into the forest.
