Hike along Lake Superior-washed cliffs and through towering white pine forests, paddle the length of a pristine harbor and keep your eyes open for the resident moose population. Isle Royale National Park offers a spectacular getaway, whether your family prefers rustic backcountry camping or a comfortable cottage stay at Rock Harbor Lodge.Isle Royale is just one of Michigan’s remarkable national landmarks, most of which call the Upper Peninsula home. Head to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore for Instagram-worthy hiking trails and boat cruises past orange-and-red sandstone cliff faces and arches. Or learn about the Upper Peninsula’s rich copper mining heritage at the Keweenaw National Historical Park. Hiking trails, historical museums and mine visits tell the story of mining on the Keweenaw Peninsula, from 7,000 year-old Native American copper operations to the great mineral boom of the 1800s.

There’s nothing better than a Pure Michigan road trip. Travel the routes that form lasting family memories. From hands-on museums to sugar-sand beaches, from summertime festivals to scenic hiking trails, and from amusement parks to urban escapes.
