Michigan's Upper Peninsula Hiking Hogback Mountain Video with Music by Aspen #GoneWildWandering

This video of Michigan's Upper Peninsula Hiking Hogback Mountain is a short film of one of my favorite hikes in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is Hogback Mountain. The trailhead we like to use is across the street from the Michigan DNR's Little Presque Isle Recreation Area's Wetmore Landing Day Use Area. This is part of Escanaba River State Forest. This trail is about 3.5 miles and climbs about 690 feet.

The trail can be a bit confusing, so pay close to attention to trail signs. There is network of trials that crisscross this recreation area and knowing which way to go can sometimes be a challenge. I have gotten twisted around several times on this hike, so pay close attention to the trail markers and I recommend downloading the trail map from AllTrails and using the GPS on your phone which will work even once you lose cellular service. We didn't have that option more than 20 years ago when I first did that hike and it definitely would have been helpful. Ill tell you that story later in our video though.

We hope you enjoy the video, will subscribe to our channel, and get out yourself and enjoy the great outdoors. Now lets watch and listen a bit to our hike.

Just found this while searching Hogback mountain to show my son where we were hiking today! I loved this whole video and the music! Aspen has a lovely voice. I’m subscribing to both your channel and Aspens!

I really enjoy some of these more rugged footed trails as they seem to be less crowded...at least that is the way it appears to be here in Nova Scotia. Such grand views! I bet it would look pretty colourful in the fall...thanks so much for sharing your adventure and hope you all have a wonderful week! Bruce and Otis

A nice trail you are showing us in this movie. Even though I live far away from Michigan I can appreciate a good trail and it looks like a good place to experience nature and have a good time:)

Man, those areas like at 8:18 I'd have to break out my folding chair and just sit there for a few hours. That's prime woods there. 👍

Great video, We are planning a trip to the UP and are looking for fun hikes. How young of children do you think could do this hike? We hike often so they are accustomed to several miles/hours long hikes with decently steep areas along Lake Michigan lakeshore dunes. We’ve read of the rock scrambles, what we saw in the video appeared doable is that pretty representative of what we would expect?
