Someone asked a question about Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in one of the Facebook groups I belong to. It made me think about the trip my husband and I made last August. It was an awesome trip. I really want to go back, but spend more time.
The question:
Traveling from SE MI to the porcupine mountains. Looking for a way to break up the drive that will ultimately provide a one or two night stop with things for our family to enjoy. We have already experienced the Munising area. Looking for suggestions either west on 2 or NW of Munising. We will be in our travel trailer. TIA
My answer:
My husband and I took a 10 day trip (wasn’t long enough) through the UP last August. We did 2 nights in Tahquamenon State Park, we spent a night in Munising–did a couple of boat tours–then went up the Keweenaw Peninsula (on the way, looked around Marquette for an afternoon, went to Presque Isle) and spent a night at Fort Wilkins. We went up the Keweenaw one way and down another way…then finally on to a 3 night stay in the Porkies. We did the Adventure mine tour one rainy day, which wasn’t too far from Ontonagon. We finished up by going back a southerly route to Manistique (stayed at Indian Lake State Park) and hit Kitch-iti-kipi and Seul Choix Lighthouse on our final day…it was a long drive back, a long final day, but worth it. It was a great trip. There is lots to do and see in the UP!
