John Muir, the famous naturalist and hiker, didn’t worry about the difference between walking and hiking when he said,“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out until sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”

Location: Pontaic Recreation Area

Hiked with: my husband

Route/trail: 29-33 kinda because we took some twists and turns out of curiosity

Weather: sunny, cool but lovely

Duration: 3.70 miles, 1 hr. 17 min.

Altitudes/elevations/conditions: hilly (surprisingly for MI), some trails rocky which slowed us down but wasn't bothersome

Sightings: A fair amount of bittersweet which I love and don't' see very often

Gear/food: water

Emotions, etc: I knew there was a large lake in this area but where the trail ended was on the shore and when we came off the trail-head I was overwhelmed to see the sand beach....this is only 15 min. from home and it will be fun to enjoy when the weather is warmer!
