The best of the Keweenaw Peninsula | What to do, see & eat | Lake Superior Circle tour

Our Lake Superior Circle Tour continues in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as we explore Copper Country. We start the day in Houghton, the gateway to the Keweenaw Peninsula, and explore all the way to Copper Harbor. Not only are we showing the best waterfalls and regional favorites, we also learn about the copper industry as we explore the Quincy Mine, check out the Delaware Mine and explore the city of Calumet.
Here is a link to a video showing the underwater portion of the Delaware mine - • Delaware Mine Dives 2013

This video was a real treat. I’m a Yooper born and raised (now practicing below the Bridge), married a girl from Florida, and next month we’re heading up to Copper Harbor for the first time! Your travelogue was helpful and fun. Thank you 😊

[@Lovenesters]

Glad you enjoyed it! You should have fantastic colors when you go. We were just there shooting a video on the Porkies and the colors were just starting to turn. Ask your wife if she ever went to Ichetucnee Springs in Florida. We filmed there this year and it is a really neat place she could take you to.

[@LadyYoop]

This is positively fabulous...just beautiful..I'm a Yooper! And I'm really impressed!!

[@Lovenesters]

Thank you! You just made our night. We did another video on Ironwood and another on the porkies you might enjoy. You live in such a beautiful part of the world!

[@LadyYoop]

Calumet was almost the capital of Michigan...Pasties are so good eh!

[@LadyYoop]

ps..that's not the end of the road...you do need a 4 wheeled vehicle!

[@Lovenesters]

@@LadyYoop now I want a pasty. Had breakfast pasties for first time in our porkies videos. Fantastic!

[@LadyYoop]

AMEN my friend!@@Lovenesters

Keweenaw Key-win-awe

[@Lovenesters]

Thanks! We never felt we were saying it right! Thanks for watching.

Very nice memories, it's so pretty and interesting up there. We met "Snickers" the skunk at Delaware Mine in the Fall of 2021 and he was so tiny! And the owner Tom was able to take time to explain and expand on some of the trinkets and displays at the end of the day as the crowd had thinned out. We actually still have a small decorative jar of Maple Sugar we bought at the Jam Pot just a few months before Father Basil passed away. Not far from there is Mount Bohemia where we got to do a ski lift cable car fall color ride, with fog covering most of the top of the ride on the mountain. Memories and pictures of Keweenaw in Fall we will keep as it was so beautiful with the red and orange and yellow leaves everywhere. And the view from Brockway Mountain...whew. 🍂

[@Lovenesters]

Great Memories. For such a remote place it is surprising how much there is to see and do. We easily could have spent several more days there. I would love to have explored more of the ghost towns. The history of that place is incredible and the natural beauty is limitless.

[@johncashler3611]

I took the trip up on hwy 41 but went past the end of the hwy onto the logging road and was forced to continue. Loggers working the woods told me to continue to follow the trail but be very careful glad i had 4 wheel drive to get out of the trail it was fun. Would i do it again? No it is my own transportation to go back home

[@Lovenesters]

Sounds like an adventure and one that you need 4 wheel drive for. I bet it was pretty all the way at the tip! Thanks for watching.

[@wendycollins8693]

How was the Thimbleberry Jam?

[@Lovenesters]

We put it out for all of our family members to sample and they inhaled it! Very yummy, great with pretzels.

[@erbewayne6868]

Was wondering if this jam was mentioned, good stuff.

[@lauraberry1636]

Planning a trip in fall 2024, have dog with us & bad knees like to find easy hikes dog friendly. Possibly kayak or condone with dog she’s 18 lbs. any suggestions?

[@Lovenesters]

Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. If your trip is just to the Keweenaw I would say Jacob's falls and the falls in eagle river are little to no hikes. Going up Brockway mountain in car would give you great views. If you go further south lake of the clouds in the porcupine mountains is dog friendly and has a boardwalk ramp to great views that should be easy on the knees

[@erbewayne6868]

Did you have a pastie in Calumet?

[@Lovenesters]

We did not. We have at 3 different places in the UP. Our favorite is in Wakefield.

[@LuHouserr]

Best pasty in Laurium right next to Calumet at Toni's Country Kitchen

[@Lovenesters]

@@LuHouserr Thanks for the tip - Now I'm hungry for a Pasty!
