I camped at the porcupine camp site and been to the Presgue Isle falls and it was one of the most beautiful and amazing places I’ve been. You’re so far north and away from anything you feel like you’re on another planet. A camping trip I’ll hold near and dear to my heart.
Is this the highest of the mountains in the UP? I am moving there soon and looking forward to all the natural beauty, but I have to admit, I will dearly miss mountains (and salt water!😢). But the UP’s nature will more than make up for it I am sure.😊
My family is moving to Michigan in a few months and I have to say….the two things I am going to miss most are salt water and mountains. I clicked this hoping to see some mountains…….at least you have some very beautiful hills! That’s ok, nowhere is perfect and I am looking forward to all the other amazing sights to see in the UP…..I just won’t count on mountains being one of them 😊
advice for eating at The Fitz in Eagle River....make reservations! The demand is so high and the seats few (it's pretty small), it's almost impossible to walk in and get a table. Call ahead.....
I love this and I love my Michigan! Took a motorcycle trip up to the UP for almost 2 wks. So great! Totally moving up there. Seriously I hope the UP doesn't become its own state! Michigan is the best, with both peninsulas! Who else can claim the uniqueness us Michiganders have?
@@MickeyD2012 the drinking water has been polluted and contaminated in counties all over Michigan not just flint. People just don’t care about flint because they hate the black people that live there. Look into the “Michigan healthy fish serving guide” and you’ll find that many of our waters are so polluted you can’t eat fish from them at all. The UP is obviously less polluted than industrialized Michigan
Excellent show reminds me of NE Wisconsin my Mom was born in Mellen , WI and brought up in Upson, WI. My Uncle worked briefly in the early 1960's in the Copper Mines of that area but was injured so retired early but enjoyed the beautiful lakes and fishing and hunting and cross country skiing in that area. Yes, want to get back to that neck of the woods-NorthWoods ! Corie in Seattle
I used to live on the Upper back in the early 80"s for about 6 years. Certainly one of the most beautiful places that I ever lived. I lived just west of Curtis between there and Germfask. The best hunting and fishing one could ever want. I worked all over the upper as logging and pulping were the primary sources of income up there. I hear it's still just as desolate of people and beautiful as it was 40 years ago. Gods country, But believe me come winter time even he heads south. LOL
" I hear it's still just as desolate of people and beautiful as it was 40 years ago. " Yeah, it is, one of the few places in America where that is so. The work from home movement may mean that it is no longer so empty of people in 40 years.
@@michigandersea3485 Yeah my little brother was up there just last week. He and his wife go up every year to camp for a week and get away. His wife is from up there. She grew up in Nobinway on US 2. They used to run a fishery up there.
I'll do that. I've got "You Wouldn't Like It Here" and "You Still Wouldn't Like It Here", written by a professor from Marquette, I believe. Oh so funny, yet so true. Hahahahahahahaha

@@foresthiker6707 you know that for fact?...cause you sound a bit arrogant. We the people own this land, not the DNR or the government, and park passes are unconstitutional.... maybe you should read it before trying to sound smart
@@foresthiker6707 recreational passports are relatively new do how do you suppose the government paid for it then? My point is they steal people's money through taxes and create bs government jobs funded by tax payers. Why do I need to pay another man to go fish at a public lake that they don't own or maintain?

Fair enough, Michigan does not actually "start" until 100+ miles north into the mitten. Personally, I want to throw up when I see "Welcome to Ohio/slow down 20 mph" sign on my way back every year from the Northern U.P.
I would say it’s more Northern WI than Canada. Really geographically it makes no sense that it’s not part of WI. I spent a number of years selling in western UP for work.
@@mattjentlie3081 it is more comparable to the Wisconsin area than Michigan in my opinion , I was making a kind of joke , how western Canadians ( VANCOUVERITES) are less Canadian than some US citizens
