North Country Trail - Manistee River Pathway Loop, February 9-11, 2001 Snowshoe Trip Photo Gallery


So, you just want to view the photographs from this trip. This page has them all. The trip diary (where you probably just were) has all the same photos, but also includes my impressions of everything I saw and did. The descriptions are lifted from the trip diary so you may find references to information in the diary itself - you'll just have to read the diary in some cases for the full scoop.

February 9

diary A typical view of the North Country Trail today. 16:38.

February 10

diary Good morning sunshine. We got a partly cloudy day today. Once the sun rose above the trees it started to warm up from the low of about 5*F to the mid-20*F mark. 08:20.
diary One of our first real views of the Mainstee River. Although it doesn't show in this photo the color of the river was often a deep emerald - quite stunning. 15:24
diary Little Mac bridge. This suspension bridge normally bows upwards, but with all the snow upon it is is nearly flat. Of course, like all suspension bridges, it wiggles when you cross it. 15:46.

February 11

diary Looking down upon the Manistee River. I am standing on the bluff where we camped. Later that day as the trail and river curve round and round I'll be able to look back towards this campsite. 09:02.
diary Another view from our campsite.. 09:03.
diary A fine river view taken about an hour after we started hiking. 11:02.
diary My fellow travellers. Left to right: Chris, Paul, and Curtis. This is at the same location as shown in the previous picture, but looking ahead down the trail instead of back. 11:02.
diary The Manistee River has some big bends in it. I believe this is an ox-bow curve. We are about to follow the left hand curve as I recall. 12:10.
