Discover Keweenaw Copper Country
Surrounded by the waters of Lake Superior, the Keweenaw Peninsula offers a combination of forested landscapes, waterfront scenery, and a fascinating industrial past.
The region became known for its copper deposits, and mining played a major role in the development of local communities. As you travel through Copper Country, the tour provides historical context about the mines, workers, settlements, and industries that influenced life across the peninsula.
The route also highlights the area's natural surroundings. Lake Superior views, wooded roads, wildlife, and small communities create plenty of opportunities to stop, explore, and take in the scenery.
Explore the Lake Michigan Shoreline
The Lake Michigan tour introduces travelers to some of the most recognizable scenery along Michigan's western shoreline.
One of the highlights is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, where enormous sand dunes rise above the lake and create expansive views across the surrounding landscape.
The route also includes Point Betsie Lighthouse, an iconic structure overlooking Lake Michigan, along with opportunities to learn about the area's maritime history and coastal environment.
Views toward the Manitou Islands add another dimension to the journey, while beaches, forests, small communities, and other points of interest provide plenty of places to pause along the way.
