• Airport pickup (Escanaba, Marquette, Newberry, Mouth of Two Hearted)

• Carspotting

• Non-emergency trail rescues (bad weather, bad bugs, crisis back home, etc.)

• Trail pick up and return for thru hikers

Many of these are sold as a package with your room. We only provide these services for our lodging customers. If you need assistance with arranging transportation without utilizing a room, buy a copy of one of my books and I'll give you some advice!

Laundry can be part of one of our packages or sold separately. We have a washer and a dryer. .
We will eventually have a modest camp store, specializing in vintage equipment that we rent or sell. Supplies such as canister fuel, etc., will be modern!

What kind of trail transportation do you offer?

Do you guide or offer tours?

Yes! I am an experienced guide! I've guided canoe trips, birdwatching, and even international safaris to Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Peru! I can't tell you how any guided hikes I've done.

What I can offer:
Guided birdwalks: @ Seney National Wildlife Refuge
Guided hikes: @ Seney National Wildlife Refuge, Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Pictured Rocks
Lighthouse tours (eastern half of the UP)
Waterfall tours (Alger, Marquette Counties)

We utilize the caravan tour format. Which is, everyone loads up in their own vehicles and we utilize a pre-detrmined route where we make stops, see the signs, then continue on. Since these are meant as a serice to our lodging guests, all tours start at the hostel. End point will likely be out in the field.
