About this title

Synopsis

Completely revised and updated guide to both the celebrated places and off-the-beaten-path destinations of a wild, historic region originally based on mining and logging. The Upper Peninsula has mostly escaped rampant tourist development. This guide includes lodgings, restaurants, and campgrounds, chosen for scenery, tranquility, and often walkability as well. Regular notes are made for places that are family-friendly, handicap-friendly, and/or take pets. Opportunities for hiking, fishing, swimming, diving, paddling, looking for rocks and minerals, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing are noted. Visiting waterfalls, lighthouses, art galleries, specialty shopping, and museums are popular activities covered here. A large page format permits annotated maps and many illustrations. Fully indexed.

About the Author

Mary and Don Hunt founded the Ann Arbor Observer, a city magazine, in 1976 and edited it for ten years. They are interested in local and regional cultures and economies, and ethnic and religious subcultures. Their big statewide guide, Hunts' Highlights of Michigan, is now out of print after three editions. Being from large cities in different parts of the U.S. (Missouri and Texas) contributes to their curiosity about regional differences and various people's ethnic and social roots.
