On our way outwest this summer we want to make a stop in Copper Harbor, Michigan. I know, I know... a little out of the way but...anyhow, would like some recommendations on things to see and things to...

There's a old copper mine going up the peninsula from Hancok ( cross the bridge from Houghton). Not sure if still operation but the tour is awesome. It was one of the biggest mines for copper back in the day. They start at the steam house for the shaft shuttles. They take a short cog train down to the mine opening. Goes into the mine ( bring a jacket even if it's hot outside).
Go up to the old fort. Visit Lake in the clouds. There a bunch of other stuff to do in that area. If you head out towards the east the pictured rocks is another place to see, take the tour their too.
This is the mine to tour. There's another but this is the best.

Oh and there's a great city campground full hookup in downtown Houghton right on the river. They have covered patios behind your rig. About $35 night
