North Manitou Island Loop

This was my first backpacking trip and I went with a friend and an experienced adult. We stayed for two nights, the first on a bluff between Donner’s Point and Fredrickson’s past cat hole. Beautiful sunset. The second night we spent right by Bournique’s, which is past the cemetery and got up to see the sunrise. Overall great experience, would recommend. Pretty easy hike.
