I went here last summer with my Boy Scout troop and we hiked from Au Sable to Munising in a week. Overall the we hiked about 54 miles and saw lots of amazing sights. A must see spot is the Au Sable dunes where we spent one night. Another is 12 mile beach, just watch out for the black flies and you will have a great experience. The cliffs that overlook Lake Superior are closer on the Munising side.

My friend took the liberty of counting all of the steps and determined there are over 600 stairs.

I did this hike on the shortest day of the year on a rainy cold and icy trail with a 35lb bag that was sopping wet when I was 13. The hardest thing I have ever done especially since all of the residents piers were on the land. This was an amazing hike and when you’re done Troy can go for dinner at sprechers.
