Fun Fact: The Mackinac State Park portion of the Island used to be a National Park! In fact, Mackinac National Park was the second oldest National Park, with the first being Yellowstone! It was a National Park from 1875 to 1895, and covered 821 acres of the Island with 103 acres belonging to the Fort and the rest was privately owned.
I eagerly await each of your episodes..where will Josh and Paps take me this time and…you will show me a beautiful corner of the US through your lenses. Thank you for the great work. I love you, you are a great family.
Every since I watched Somewhere In Time back to the 80s, I wanted to go to this Island. I had no idea there was so much to do there! We are definitely gonna make it there, thanks Josh!!!!
My son (now 35 yrs old) did that eight mile loop on a bike with training wheels when he was 4 yrs old! It took a lot of breaks and coaxing and a lot more time than it should have, but he did it! lol, I don't know what we were thinking when we decided to do that lol
Mackinac Island was wonderful! I love horses so I love the island from the get-go!🐗Everything was great! The Arch, the Butterfly Garden, the bike ride around to island! The Grand Hotel and all the food!❤️😀🇺🇸
I lived in Los Angeles for the past twenty years and have been following you for almost as long to learn about California destinations. This past January we moved to Michigan and I am THRILLED to see a video set in Michigan. You're the best, dude!!!
A day trip to Mackinac Island is so much fun. If you ever get the chance, stay a couple of nights. Completely different vibe in the evening and morning. The Pink Pony (the outdoor bar is below the restaurant) in the evening is the place to be. The rum runners be flowing! Many hotel options with various price points. I like Mission Point. I do a solo seven mile hike when my wife and I visit. I start by hiking up the bluff near Mission Point, then head to arch rock. From there, go to skull cave. Then past the Cemeteries and on to Fort Holmes. Fort Holmes is at the highest point on the island and requires walking up another bluff (more stairs). There is no cost to tour the Fort. Most people don't know it's there. From there, I hike past Fort Mackinac and the small airport. The other side of the island has a few more geologic formations (a shallow cave and "crack in the island"). Then on to British Landing. The hike continues back through town and onto Mission Point (or whatever hotel you're staying at). Thank you so much for this video and all the others you do. I love watching your content.
Native northern Illinoisan here. I haven't been to Mackinac Island in years, but it doesn't look like it has changed much. Still a charming trip back in time. I love that motorized vehicles are still not allowed. It's a magical place. Thank you for taking us along!
So many memories in this video of our trip there 10 years ago. Time to go back again. But for now, I'm in the mood to watch "Somewhere in Time". Thanks so much for sharing your adventure. I'm so glad you found it an enjoyable way to spend a day!
I've been enjoying your travels for the past 2 years and I am so excited that you are in my home state!!! I can't help smiling throughout the entire video!! I am so glad you enjoyed your time in our little gem, Mackinac Island!!!
I am so glad that you and your father visited Mackinac Island in my home state of Michigan. Some people just associate Michigan with American cars, Kelloggs Cereal, Madonna, Eminem and Detroit! 😄
I live in Northeastern Michigan and Mackinaw Island is one of my most favorite places! I haven’t been there in years and this video made me miss it so much!!
A dive into the past from today's perspective with 2 great hosts. Sharing glimpses of landscapes, scenery & everything for sweet teeth. To me, real fudge is the traditional one, which does not compare to any other., no matter fancy they might be 🤩. Lucky you that do not have to leave your country to experience diversity in every, shape or form. Thank you for the travel!
@@ThroughMyLensawesome! Can’t wait to see. Your channel got me into starting mine and really feel Infotainment is where it’s at. Your San Diego Guides also helped us plan our big trip last year out west so again, thanks for the great content. :-) 🎉😊
Mackinac island is a beautiful place. My first vacation as an adult was to Mackinac Island. My first cat was named Fudgie. A fudgie is a term of endearment given to the tourists coming to the island.
1. DONUTS AND FUDGE!!!! WOO HOO!!!! . 2. Whoever has to pick up the horse poop pretty much has a steady job forever. 3. Looks like I have to put Mackinac Island on my bucket list of places to visit. Great video Pops.
Thanks for coming to one of my favourite places in all the world! It's got to be over 20-years now since I was last on the Island, and it has certainly spruced up and looks to be thriving. I've done a lovely carriage tour, for 4, hired bikes but I was always afraid I wouldn't pass muster on the Grand Hotel's porch! But now I can see there's ice cream and you can have a mooch about, I'd go now if I could! In my dreams - but very glad to see the place is looking so vibrant - it's where I had the best nachos -And if you really want to step back in time, visit in the fall and stay one or two nights to really get that old world feel. Thanks guys, very enjoyable.
I love your day trip to Mackinac Island! I live in Michigan but I have never been. I've heard about the bikes, horses, and of course the fudge, but what I've heard didn't do this island justice. This is a must see and thanks for all the great recommendations!
This was phenomenal. Now, I really want to go there.🎉 I love the way that you, and Pops ALWAYS hit the highlights, give us tons of knowledge, and info, and just leave us with a feel for what the sites are noted for. 🎉 The eateries are such a huge, welcome part of the whole picture. Excellent, once again, Josh, and thank you.🏡🙏🏻🌊🎊👏🏻
As always...great video...this place is pure heaven...thank you for taking us along ...Josh, you are one of a kind and sharing Pops with us is an added bonus...much love from Texas. 🤠
I recently took my Mom to the island in Mid July 2024 and while it was very busy it was still so beautiful and great, such a gorgeous place and really warms one's heart!! I really LOVE Murdick's Peanut Butter Fudge but you can't go wrong with any of them!!! Great video and thank you for sharing!
Amazing content in your videos. Thank you for sharing and giving those of us who cannot travel with ease the opportunity as armchair travellers to enjoy places and sights we would not have been able to visit otherwise.
Ohh!it is a wonderful place!I follow you and enjoy those road trips and those peculiar,historical and interesting places that you can visit! Thanks for sharing them!
Love Mackinac Island. One of my favorite places. You did a good job finding the best places to go on a day's visit. Those were not mosquitoes but mayflies. I have been to Mackinaw City when they were really bad.
I visited the island as a child...ever since I have wanted to return. Perhaps one day for a stay at the Grand Hotel. Thanks for sharing your day. It made me smile.
What a gorgeous little island! Because of the horse drawn carriages I thought it looked like Savanah, Georgia. So pretty! Love the no car factor! Thanks so much for sharing it!
Mackinac Island looks amazing! I really would like to visit here. Doughnuts, fudge, butterflies, biking, and the views! I liked that you included the cost of each restaurant and activity you did. It really gives a good idea on what to budget for. Awesome video, great content, very informative!
Once Again ! Thank you so much for giving us opportunity to Discover One Of The Oldest And The Best Places In US !! I Really Enjoyed This Place !! Thank you so much ….
Good job! I've dreamed of visiting Mackinaw Is ever since seeing it in the film 'Somewhere in Time' You give all the details that visitors need. I love the trips where your Pop's with you. Reminds me of traveling with my mother -bittersweet.
Mackinac is a super cool place and excellent review as always. Was the nation's second National Park! Was eventually returned to the state of Michigan though.
Looks like you were there around lilac festival time. As a Michigander, we love our Mighty Mac. Lots to see and do around the St. Ignace & Mackinaw City area. Did you climb Castle Rock? Very good presentation of the island. Hope you and pops enjoyed your time here.
Our son just did the Mackinaw bridge swim. The whole 5 miles, it is a great experience. It was a wavy day so a hard swim,but he made it in just over 2 hrs.
What a beautiful place! It is always enjoyable to go along with you and Pops, or your Wife and Kids, on your well picked adventures. Thank you! Very interesting video
HELLO JOSH AND POPS YOU GUYS ALWAYS MANAGE TO FIND DONUTS THEN YOU THROW ICE CREAM AND FUDGE INTO THE MIX .O' AND LETS NOT FORGET THAT AWESOME LUNCH YOU HAD WITH A LITTLE BICYCLING TO FILL THE VOID .JUST KIDDING WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE GREAT VIDEO LARRY FROM LONG ISLAND
You guys have some of the best travel videos. hydrologically speaking, since Mackinac Straits are so wide, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron share the same water. This means it's one big lake.
I just recently found your channel and I am so glad I did. I'm looking forward to my trips to western USA - your videos have given me ideas and it's also shown me what I can do and what I will not do. Pacific Coast Highway road trip? definitely. Tapestry Arch in Utah- yes. Angels Landing- never in a million years- but I'm glad you did because I would have never seen it any other way. :) Keep it up - especially with your dad. Have you been to Colorado Springs yet? I'm hoping to see some videos. :)
haha thanks for the comment! I am glad the videos have showed you some of the places you want to go and don't want to go! Angels Landing is def not for everyone and I totally understand that, it is terrifying haha and PCH is legit an amazing road trip. Thanks for the comment!
I'm a michigander I'm born and raised in metro Detroit and going to Mackinac Island is just something that you can do anytime. It's really nice to see it through The eyes of someone who hasn't been there and to also see it be appreciated. If you've never been and you're planning on going a couple of things, the Grand hotel is very Grand but to take a picture on the porch you have to pay and if you want to stay there it is not worth it. It is beautiful but it is ridiculously overpriced and just stand near it and take a picture and that's all that you need. If you have to go in the summer ordering a holiday expect it to be ridiculously overcrowded everywhere. It gets the hottest that it will in Michigan obviously, and personally I think it's miserable to go in June July or August or over holiday weekend. If you can go any other time I really suggest it. It's beautiful in the very early spring and fall and if you can go during the lilac festival it is amazing. Also with all of the horses on Mackinac it very much smells like horse if you know what I mean the hotter that it is so just keep that in mind😂 if you're able to get a bicycle just do it. If not kind of look up what it is that you want to see and plan out your route carefully. Finally, Mackinac Island is with a c and Mackinaw City is with a w. Enjoy Michigan ❤
Thanks for sharing Josh, excited to watch! Quick question, are you planning on a long Rt. 30 video when the time comes? Or will it be split into parts?
👋👋 This is lovely, and I sometimes think maybe we should go back to horse and carriage. No one to cut u off, race to location, enjoy God's beauty, fresh air....enjoy life💯👍😁🤗 Great content 💯👍
In 1985, I great friend and I, took the whole month of August off from the USAF and drove around the USA. Coming back to base we actually drove across Big Mac (Mackinac Bridge) at approximately 0600. The views, nonetheless, were stunning. We didn't have a chance to stop on Mackinac Island, but it was great to be there, anyways. Great job and video!
We lived in the U.P. for 12 years. Every time we traveled to Ohio to visit family, we stopped in Mackinac to get Joanne’s Fudge. Good times, man. Going over that bridge is a white-knuckler for people who are scared of heights. 🤣👍🏻🧡

I love that you include little popups about what prices are per person. So helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I eagerly await each of your episodes..where will Josh and Paps take me this time and…you will show me a beautiful corner of the US through your lenses. Thank you for the great work. I love you, you are a great family.
Really appreciate that. Thanks for watching the videos and for exploring with us!
There are things that cannot be imagined
Every since I watched Somewhere In Time back to the 80s, I wanted to go to this Island. I had no idea there was so much to do there! We are definitely gonna make it there, thanks Josh!!!!
You’re such a happy person. Makes watching the video very enjoyable 😊
😊 thank you

Hahaha 😹👏🏻Wow what a trooper!
Been waiting for you to come see my state. Living in Michigan my entire life I know what a gem this is. A little classy unique tourist trap
Smiles and good vibes! Really enjoyed watching this as a Michigander.
Mackinac Island was wonderful! I love horses so I love the island from the get-go!🐗Everything was great! The Arch, the Butterfly Garden, the bike ride around to island! The Grand Hotel and all the food!❤️😀🇺🇸
What a beautiful island. I feel rejuvenated just by watching the video!
Glad you liked it! We were very surprised with how fun it was!

A day trip to Mackinac Island is so much fun. If you ever get the chance, stay a couple of nights. Completely different vibe in the evening and morning.

I am so glad that you and your father visited Mackinac Island in my home state of Michigan. Some people just associate Michigan with American cars, Kelloggs Cereal, Madonna, Eminem and Detroit! 😄
So glad to see you in Michigan! Love the island and the surrounding areas
I live in Northeastern Michigan and Mackinaw Island is one of my most favorite places! I haven’t been there in years and this video made me miss it so much!!
Please thumb up 👍 Those who loves their dads.
Lots of love ❤
I love traveling with my dad!

We did stop in Traverse City actually. It will be in the full Michigan road trip video we put up in the next few months
@@ThroughMyLensawesome! Can’t wait to see. Your channel got me into starting mine and really feel Infotainment is where it’s at. Your San Diego Guides also helped us plan our big trip last year out west so again, thanks for the great content. :-) 🎉😊
Thrilled to see a Mackinac video! I grew up in Michigan and haven't been up to the island since 2003/2004. Hoping to visit again next summer!
Great video. We were there June 2023. We stayed one night at Mission Point. The tour is a must do as well as sampling the fudge. Thanks for sharing.
U.P. and N.S. and BWCA so much to explore. Enjoying watching you and dad
We loved exploring the UP, such a beautiful part of the state.
Hope you go back and stay on the island . Beautiful hotel!
There you go! I wait in anticipation of you and Pops adventures. Especially today, Tampa is under a tropical storm watch.
Wow, what a neat place!
We really loved exploring it
Mackinac island is a beautiful place. My first vacation as an adult was to Mackinac Island. My first cat was named Fudgie. A fudgie is a term of endearment given to the tourists coming to the island.
Cool island! Love the carriages and horses. Now I want some fudge!!
It really is a unique spot
I have lived in Michigan my whole life and I'll be 65 in a few months. I have never been to Mackinac Island 😮 I need to do this with my grandkids!
Most definitely!!
luv your travel videos. looks like you two are great traveling buddies. thank you!!
You picked the right fudge! My favorite too!
Cortados for the win! Mackinac Island is a true gem. We go every year
Joanns is better for sure
1. DONUTS AND FUDGE!!!! WOO HOO!!!! . 2. Whoever has to pick up the horse poop pretty much has a steady job forever. 3. Looks like I have to put Mackinac Island on my bucket list of places to visit. Great video Pops.

Excellent video! It’s great to see you and your pops having such a wonderful time together! 👍😊👍
I love it their and I'm from Michigan it's a step back in time without cars.
I agree, it is a special spot and I am glad I got to experience it!

A carless town, my dream place!
This trip looked so fun, I would love to be there in person, but since I can't, I really enjoyed doing it with you.
I appreciate you watching it and the comment!

Love that you visited Mackinac Island! It is worth the trip.
Ryba's is my favorite fudge from the island.
Love the island - been there many times, but Ryba's fudge is the best!
Ohh!it is a wonderful place!I follow you and enjoy those road trips and those peculiar,historical and interesting places that you can visit! Thanks for sharing them!
Love Mackinac Island. One of my favorite places. You did a good job finding the best places to go on a day's visit. Those were not mosquitoes but mayflies. I have been to Mackinaw City when they were really bad.
Aww good to know, they were biting and I just assumed they were mosquitoes.
So glad you finally did this video. One of our states favorite secrets
Great video I always enjoy watching you both
Thanks so much!
I visited the island as a child...ever since I have wanted to return. Perhaps one day for a stay at the Grand Hotel.
Thanks for sharing your day. It made me smile.
Thank you. We are heading there for a visit in three weeks. Really appreciated your recommendations.
I love your videos, my mom and I watch them together, we love to travel together ❤
That is so cool! Glad the videos are something you can watch together!
Yay! I always lookk forward to another one of your videos!
What a gorgeous little island! Because of the horse drawn carriages I thought it looked like Savanah, Georgia. So pretty! Love the no car factor! Thanks so much for sharing it!
Another great video! ❤
Yay, thank you!
Thank you again for sharing your wonderful adventures together! This was a beautiful video, well done!

Love Mackinac Island stayed in a B & B there in the 90’s great times
As always entertaining and enjoyed this very much 😁👌👌
Thanks for watching!
You and your pops are great people. Perhaps the butterfly 🦋 senses it.
I’m going there next week from Japan!!! I’m so excited!!
I hope you have a great time!
I so enjoy your Vlogs! So enjoyable! Well done! Thank you for sharing!
Once Again ! Thank you so much for giving us opportunity to Discover One Of The Oldest And The Best Places In US !! I Really Enjoyed This Place !!
Thank you so much ….
Thanks for watching the video and glad you enjoyed it
Been there lots of times. My buddy owned the Mackinaw Marine Supply so I had a free place to stay.
Good job! I've dreamed of visiting Mackinaw Is ever since seeing it in the film 'Somewhere in Time'
You give all the details that visitors need. I love the trips where your Pop's with you. Reminds me of traveling with my mother -bittersweet.
Mackinac is a super cool place and excellent review as always. Was the nation's second National Park! Was eventually returned to the state of Michigan though.
Oh yea, I forgot about that! I should have mentioned it in the video haha 😂 Thanks for the comment!
Looks like you were there around lilac festival time. As a Michigander, we love our Mighty Mac. Lots to see and do around the St. Ignace & Mackinaw City area. Did you climb Castle Rock? Very good presentation of the island. Hope you and pops enjoyed your time here.
Yep we did climb it! Got a full 8 day Michigan road trip video coming in the next few months
Every time I see Castle Rock I think of Rubber Tomahawks LOL
Great video! Thank you! On our bucket list!
Looks really nice here. Wow
Very nice video to show the island and its ambiance.
Our son just did the Mackinaw bridge swim. The whole 5 miles, it is a great experience. It was a wavy day so a hard swim,but he made it in just over 2 hrs.
What a beautiful place! It is always enjoyable to go along with you and Pops, or your Wife and Kids, on your well picked adventures. Thank you! Very interesting video
No problem, thank you for watching the videos!
I've been to Mackinac Island several times. I would highly recommend going for an entire day. The fudge is pretty awesome too.
It really is a special spot!
Great content, well presented.
Thank you!
Fantastic video of Mackinac island! ❤ definitely subscribed from Lansing Michigan! Mackinac island is my favorite place in our beautiful state!
HELLO JOSH AND POPS YOU GUYS ALWAYS MANAGE TO FIND DONUTS THEN YOU THROW ICE CREAM AND FUDGE INTO THE MIX .O' AND LETS NOT FORGET THAT AWESOME LUNCH YOU HAD WITH A LITTLE BICYCLING TO FILL THE VOID .JUST KIDDING WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE GREAT VIDEO LARRY FROM LONG ISLAND
haha we for sure ate a lot in this video and worked it off with the walking and biking haha
easily my favourite channel
Really appreciate that!
Cool vid with your Dad, have to try the island would splurge for the Hotel!
Honestly didnt expect much from this video as I didnt know much about the destination and dont think of Michigan as a tourist spot. Now I want to go!
Loved this video!
You guys have some of the best travel videos.
hydrologically speaking, since Mackinac Straits are so wide, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron share the same water. This means it's one big lake.
Fabulous and awesome Thanks for sharing
My pleasure 😊

Quick question, are you planning on a long Rt. 30 video when the time comes? Or will it be split into parts?
Thanks for the comment! Yea, it will be one long video, I am guessing 2-3 hours haha
I love yalls videos my favorite is the route 66 video
Yay! 🎉 Josh your back from the NY side of the Country. 😊
haha yea, it was a fun summer but glad to be back!
The Bike ride looked like fun!!! 🚲🚲🚲
It was such a blast!
👋👋 This is lovely, and I sometimes think maybe we should go back to horse and carriage. No one to cut u off, race to location, enjoy God's beauty, fresh air....enjoy life💯👍😁🤗
Great content 💯👍

Headed there in a week! Thanks for the awesome recommendations! Happy travels!!!
Awesome, have a great time!
We lived in the U.P. for 12 years. Every time we traveled to Ohio to visit family, we stopped in Mackinac to get Joanne’s Fudge. Good times, man. Going over that bridge is a white-knuckler for people who are scared of heights.
🤣👍🏻🧡
Great video, miss your California videos
Hope to get back on those soon, I have some fun ideas.
Have you done a Kentucky Bourbon Trail tour? Mammoth Cave NP - Keeneland - Churchill downs - Cumberland Gap???
First time seeing Pops have a case of the butterflies (i had to😁) very interesting place 👌
Hahaha! I don’t remember a better butterfly spot. Truth is I get more butterflies with heights.
I really enjoyed this video! So excited for more. We always look in the window of the estate agents at house prices where we visit too. 😅
I've lived less than 100 miles away from Mackinac Island all my life, yet I've never been there. I hope to change that next summer.
