Hot Hogback hike  Sucess!

A rather hot day by UP standards; upper 80's! Great trail (South Trailhead)with some fun scrambling near the summit. I think the secret is out, as we shared the summit with well over 10 other hikers!

Spectacular views  Sucess!

I can't even imagine how great this would be in winter. I may have to come back. I did end up with 2 ticks though...

Wintry Wonderland  Sucess!

A beautiful snowshoe ascent with light flurries providing atmosphere. I loved this. Also, my first snowshoe ascent in the UP.

Winter Ascent  Sucess!

Soloed from the Wetmore Ponds trailhead in a pleasant third day blizzard. Unfortunately no visibility at the summit but I really enjoyed the whole experience as Hogback really had a nice elevation gain at the end with some traversing neccessary to reach the top.

The Best in Michigan  Sucess!

Have been to the summit too many times to count. Loved it every time. Fun exploring west along the ridge in the winter.

With the few trees, lots of snow and ice on and around the summit, as well as the cliffy features at the top, this tiny little mountain had quite the pleasing alpine(ish) feel.
