Hiking the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore: Hammock Camping Grand Sable to Munising

The Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is probably one of the most beautiful and diverse areas I've had the opportunity to hike. This must be one of the best hikes in Michigan and it was gorgeous to go backpacking in this area. The trail from Grand Sable visitor's center to Munising visitor center is 42.4 miles long and treats you with great views of Lake Superior, dense woodland and forests and beautiful beaches. Our campsites for this trip were Au Sable East, Beaver Lake campground and Cliffs. We hammock camped each night and the mileage for the four day trip was (7.1 miles, 13.3 miles, 16.9 miles and then 5.1 miles).

One of the highlights of the trip was being able to wash up in Lake Superior. Was it cold? Yes!! I think the lower half of my body went numb after the first 2 minutes and I definitely wouldn't have tried this if the day wasn't warm.

Another highlight of the trip were the campsites. Not only were our sites great but we passed multiple others that would have been excellent. Of particular note were the Coves and Trapper's Lake camp grounds. From what I remember both had excellent water views and access to the beaches.
