Yooper Tours: On The North Country Trail

On the North Country Trail. Alex Maier hikes 550 miles across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on the North Country Trail. He breaks the hike up into nine sections to experience the UP in all of its seasons. He finds that the increasing difficulty of hiking in deep snow offers more life lessons and time to reflect. Many Americans couldn’t tell you where Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is located.

My take

A meditative journey through Michigan's frozen wilderness. Watch one man's 550-mile solo hike become a quiet exploration of endurance, solitude, and what the land teaches us when we're willing to listen.
