Going Up North

And now for a summer vacation post . . . both in June and July I went "up north" for a week. Yes, it is true I like the north. Both times I spent some time in Cable, WI and then the rest of the time in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan.

Here's some reasons why you might want to go "up north" too.



The Jam Pot in the Keweenaw has my favorite bakery items. YUM.


Lake Superior is probably my fave lake.



The top of the On the Edge trail in Copper Harbor.


The Flow Trail in Copper Harbor. I love to ride up it and to ride down it. It is possibly the trail I would most like to ride. It's a bummer it is so far from home.


CXC Ski Camp for rollerski fun. So far I've been to two camps and I've worked hard on my technique.


At 11am it was 63 degrees in Calumet, MI on July 15. LOVE!!!



Paddling fun. This time on an inland lake.


The Objibwe Trail in Cable.


Canoeing fun. Rented from the Keweenaw Adventure Company.


Namekagon Trails outside Cable, WI


Pretty lakes of all sizes.


Swedetown Trails in Calumet, MI


Makwa Trail just outside Seeley, WI


If you're a mountain biker and you haven't been up to ride the trails in the UP at Copper Harbor, Calumet, Houghton and Hancock then you need to go immediately. They are just that good. And, of course, the CAMBA trails in the Cable and Hayward aren't to be missed.
