Loading the coach this week to head North to the U.P. I was told I need to go to Pictured Rock. Anyone out there have any suggestions on where to go once we get there? We are staying in Sault Ste Marie ON. but might have a day on the way back to explore a little.
  • Expect the weather to be cool and often wet with mosquitoes even in summer.
  • There is a NF CG a bit west of Munising, right along the lake. Grand Marais' Woodland Park cg is nice too.

    If you like history, Fayette SP has historic buildings and artifacts.

    Fortunately?
  • • Take the pictured rocks boat ride, but dress warm !
    • Miners Castle although one of the natural rock "towers" collapsed a few years ago
    • Tahquamenon Falls, Upper and Lower
    • Kitchitikipi (Big Spring) (very unique)
    • Porcupine Mountains has several very beautiful views
    • Google iron mine tour and copper mine tour
    • Mackinaw Island (ferry from St Ignace or Mackinaw City)

    They used to allow overnight parking (boondock, no facilities) along the southern coast off of US2 just west to the bridge.
