Returned three weeks ago from a wonderful trip, mainly to the Apostle Islands area of Wisconsin and the Keeweenaw peninsula of Michigan.

The little town of Bayfield WI is really wonderful. Great little shops, restaurants and accommodations. Took a boat ride out around the Apostle Islands-lighthouses, birds and scenery were impressive. Loved the tiny village of Cornucopia WI with its onion-domed church and galleries.

Copper Harbor in the UP is a low-key tiny town on the shore of Lake Superior and is one of the places where a passenger ferry is available to Isle Royale National Park. Lodging in mom and pop motels and small cafes are so appropriate to the whole experience. The Harbor Haus restaurant sits right on the lake and offers upscale dining that was delicious and relaxing.

Driving on the coast of the Keeweenaw peninsula offers villages, lighthouses and incredible scenery-reminding me of trips to the ocean, especially Maine and places in Oregon. Lots of freighters to watch on the horizon.

Very few people were out, but I assume that changes a bit when the leaves change. A great trip I would recommend to anyone.

GJLinda, Sh-h-h-h, don't give away the secret of the Keeweenaw peninsula! You are so right about Copper Harbor and Harbor Haus. Actually, winter is also a popular time in the Keeweenaw because of the snowmobiling. Glad you enjoyed the area.

I just returned from a fall color trip to the Keweenaw peninsula. I've told friends that the colors and vistas are indescribable. In the future, fall colors will all pale in comparison. Miles of trees arching over the road in blazing shades and the trip to the top of Brockway Mountain is something special. I'm already planning a return trip next year!
