driving tour of the U.P.
 

Any suggestion on prettiest route from <BR>west to east of the U.P. during late July. <BR>Also any attractions or must-sees.

OK, I give in. What is the U.P.?

I drove through the UP with my parents when I was in high school. I don't remember what roads we took. But it was so beautiful, and the weather was perfect, at least compared to hot, sticky St. Louis. <BR> <BR>We visited Houghton, Sault Ste. Marie, Escanaba, Alpina and Mackinac Island. I liked everyplace, but Mackinac was by far the most interesting. I remember taking the ferry to the island and you could see through the cyrstal clear water. The island is a lot of fun. Rent a bike and ride around the island. Bring lots of bug spray. I remember getting bit to death the whole week we were there. Have fun!

The U.P. is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. <BR> <BR>And sorry for the error - it is, of course, "crystal" clear water!

Must-sees: the "Pictured Rocks" boat tour along Lake Superior, and Tahquamenon (sp?) Falls. Copper Harbor is interesting if you get up that far north -- the sand on the beach is the color of pennies. In the west, Porcupine Mtns. and Lake of the Clouds.
