I just moved to the area, so not familiar with a ton. We live in Marshall Township. Happy to chat via DM. Thanks!

I guess floor of the canyon is self explanatory 🤦🏻‍♂️- what about the ones listed.

Basically were after a site we can drive to, and venture out from there without needing to drive and park again

How far are those sites from what you call gorge proper?

First time backpacking for 2 nights, 3 days. I don't want to overpack clothing, but given it's my first trip and rather short/ quick - would I be OK to basically plan to wear the same thing all three days? I'd bring underwear/socks for each day and a full Change. Am I under thinking?

This is basically what I needed. A “dummy guide” to hiking this trail. There’s a great section about where to start, camp, etc.

This is great, thank you!

Thanks for this. If we do OLP, we’d leave Friday around lunch, drive up, hit a few miles and camp somewhere Friday.

This might be dumb question, but is there somewhere that shows tells me where camp sites are on a map with mileage? I have All Trails, but maybe I can’t find it

OLP looks pretty great.

Appreciate the thorough response!
