Planning on hiking the full 23 mile MRT/NCT loop. The fall colors should be spectacular!
Taking that Friday off, hope to hit the trail by 10-11am on 10/11/13.
Friday Start - AM - Hike aprox 9 miles from Upper River to Eddington Creek. (NCT side)
Saturday - aprox 11 miles from Edd. Creek to stealth spot on the river south of Cottage Rd.
Sunday - Hike out a few miles.
Roughly 23 miles total.

I'm thinking about doing something similar mid Dec. Good luck and remember pictures or it didn't happen!
Directionally challenged...comicly so.
Not all who wonder are lost...But I'm probably just lost.
Solid maybe. Have to check with the kids as I'll be camping this weekend and the weekend of Oct 18 also.
After Deep Lake my mind is screaming "GO.GO.GO." After wandering around the dunes today my body says it ain't gonna happen... yet.
Jealous as I love this loop! But I'll have to opt to continue my more leisurely outdoor adventures elsewhere. I wouldn't arrive to hike until very late Friday night. Have a blast!!
Go to the Marilla trail head and hike into Eddington.Originally Posted by Vulture
That's one of my favorite loop hikes in Michigan. Was up there this past April and camped in the pines on the NE side of the creek. Wish I could make it, but I'll be on Mackinac Island that weekend.....Nothing quite like the smell of horses and fudge
I'm being easily swayed. You guys will have quite the climb to finish your trip Sunday, if I remember correctly.
I don't remember who you are, but I'd encourage you to give at least part of this loop (Manistee River Trail is much easier) a try unless you are truly out of shape.
Sounds like a lot of fun. I wish I could take Friday off. I would be up there with ya if I could.
