Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan

“OUR FIRST KEWEENAW ADVENTURE"

We take a look back when life was nothing but fun and every trip was new. This time we go back to the Keweenaw before it was the crowded place that it has become today. I think you will enjoy these tales from the past.

Upper Peninsula, Michigan

“WILDERNESS WATERFALLS PART 1"

The U.P. is home to all but one of Michigan’s waterfalls. There are more than 200 falls scattered across the U.P., ranging in size from under 5 feet to 48+ feet vertical drops. Almost all require hiking to reach, and all are worth the hike. Some of the hikes are a lot harder than others but as you will see today the hikes are half the fun.
