Overview

Michigan Hill offers various terrain and landscapes, from tight turns through dense forests to open hillsides with spectacular views. You cross easy slopes of dirt and gravel and rougher talus shelf roads. If you are looking for more challenge and thrill, the optional tricky descent down and rough climb up the back side of the mountain can provide that. You pass tailing piles and an old mining shed, and the remnants of an old mine can be found at the summit, relics of the historic mining days. Although they are not plentiful, the campsites along this trail are very nice. Michigan Hill is one of the major trails in the Dakota Hill network, connecting to several other trails.
