Quiet Winter Hikes

Jan. 4, 2025

Need a breather after the busy holiday season? We found two opportunities to get outside and get some fresh air this week. Charlevoix Recreation and Visit Charlevoix are offering candlelight hikes at Mt. McSauba every Friday evening in January. Head to 09223 Mt. McSauba Rd (start at the sledding hill parking lot) from 5-8pm to hike, snowshoe, or ski along the 1-mile trail. The event is free; learn more at visitcharlevoix.com/candlelighthike. At Treetops Resort in Gaylord, you can take a guided snowshoe stroll Friday, Jan. 10, or Saturday, Jan. 11, at 7pm. Registration is $15 for kids 12 and under, $20 for adults, and includes headlamps, hot cocoa, and s’mores by the fire at the end of your 45-minute adventure. (Snowshoe rentals are an additional $15.) Register at treetops.com/events.
