There's snow and ice on the ground. A storm is on its way. But in the forest, on a sunny day this week, you could almost hear the maples creek and crack with a slight thaw. A sticky sap is about to ooze from Michigan's maples and the pails are there to collect it. We are all ready to thaw.

| One of the best drives in Michigan, truly, is taking a left after having just gone over the Mackinac Bridge and heading west along U.S. 2 - fully prepared for the unknown adventure that the Upper Peninsula always brings. But about 30 minutes later, with some smoked fish from Gustafson's now acquired, you cross a bridge and might not even know it. Absolutely do yourself a favor, and then next time you drive this route, keep your eyes out 25 miles west of St. Ignace and pull over before the Cut River Bridge. Then get out of your car in the lot and walk over to see a breathtaking, historic bridge that was right below you the whole time. | |

| Looking for a bucket-list winter adventure? Try snowmobiling the Upper Peninsula’s rugged and supremely scenic Brockway Mountain. The Copper Harbor landmark, located at the tip of the remote Keweenaw Peninsula, is home to Brockway Mountain Drive: the highest above sea-level scenic roadway between the Rockies and Alleghenies, standing more than 700 feet above nearby Lake Superior. | |
