Porcupine Mountains

On your way to Porcupine Mountains in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, stop by on Lake Superior shores for an unearthly scene.

Upper Peninsula is a relatively obscure destination, which means you’ll find lots of breathing room exploring its wide trails, deserted beaches, and old style diners. Stay at the lake cabin for a night of stargazing and have a one-on-one with the universe.
