Michigan
Back Roads / Yoopers, Eh!The upper peninsula of Michigan is actually several different regions. Nearly every town has some spectacular scenery or historic site worth visiting. The eastern area is totally different from the western. There are fantastic waterfalls, iron and coppermines, incredible architecture and a way of life that is unique in America.

Our Color Tours, scenic drives and all kinds of trails are on a separate site.
There is a great drive from St. Ignace north, The Mackinac Trail . Another favorite drive of mine is what I call the The Waterfall Drive . You can leave Gladstone for a nice easy road trip and visit five different waterfalls in the space of an afternoon. Some can be seen without getting out of your car and one isn't on any map I have seen.
The Water Tower & Museum in Manistique is one of the most unusual museums in the upper peninsula. Not only is this a spectacular building, you can learn about the old siphon bridge that used to function there.
