Michigan Heights Trail has two trailheads, so backcountry trekking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. Sometimes this backpacking and hiking trail gets really dry, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go. Michigan Heights Trail is not that long but it's always fine to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen. With its 6 miles of walking distance it's a mid length walk. This backcountry hiking trail goes through some very different elevations which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the backcountry hiking trail. This backcountry trek shouldn't take more than 5.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. Michigan Heights Trail has a total elevation difference of 2,179 feet, and that is about average.
