Why Mitten Trails

We love exploring Michigan: the cliffs above Lake Superior, the dunes on the Lake Michigan shore, the lighthouses, the long drives in between. Mitten Trails is how we share the places we keep going back to.

We're a small, independent shop. Our guides are built from park and agency sources, and every fee, hour and closure carries the date we checked it. Our keepsakes carry the places themselves: a lighthouse, a falls, a map of the mitten. Go see them, and bring a little of Michigan home.
