The
Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan's U.P. is an awesome place to explore any time of the year, but it is especially amazing during the Fall. We spent an entire weekend in October discovering all that the peninsula has to offer. We started our trek in Ontonagon and then traveled on the west side of the peninsula stopping along the way to pick some rocks at Agate Beach.
The scenery in the Keweenaw is breathtaking. I bet we pulled over 20 times to take pictures on the way to our destination. Here are some of our favorites.

Our destination for the weekend was
Copper Harbor, which is at the very tip of the Keweenaw. We spent time picking rocks, hiking, and getting lost. Note: do not depend on your GPS to get you around the Copper Harbor area...bring a map!! On the way home, we took a drive down what locals call the "Tunnel of Trees." It was one of the coolest roads I have even been on during the Fall.

After an awesome weekend in Copper Harbor, we set out for home by traveling down the east side of the peninsula. We stopped at many places on the way, but I think my most favorite place was Oliver Beach. There was some really interesting shale on the beach that made for some really great photos. Here are some of my favorites.

Exploring the Keweenaw Peninsula was a great experience. I can't wait to go back again.
These pictures are so amazing! I especially like the "Tunnel of the Trees." They are really pretty and I bet you just get lost in the beautiful scenery around you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole. Yes, it's easy to get lost in the beauty in the Keweenaw. When we were at Oliver Beach we didn't want to leave. It was the most amazing place, and there was NO ONE around anywhere the whole time we were there.
