Trip:
Be ready to enjoy a breathtaking view of natural landscape of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. We will arrive in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, a stunning U.S national lakeshore on the shore of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We will be there to see unique rock formation and colorful cliffs are standing by the translucent blue water in juxtaposition, dividing sky and the earth with a vivid horizon line. Its raw beauty captures the mind of beholders. Then we’ll go to Miner’s Beach to nearly see the lake, to see the Lake Superior from a different angle. There are few falls spread over Picture Rock National Lakeshore. Taquahmenon Falls and Lower Falls are two of the most famous falls, also are called Amber Twin Falls (Optional in-depth tour). These two falls are colorful, silk like falls. Flowing water of this falls is shining like thousands of diamonds under sunshine. We will go to the Sault Ste. Marie late afternoon, a city located on the northeastern end of the U.S. state of Michigan on the Canadian border. Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan. Here we will overlook an impressive man-made wonder. Since there were rapids of water falling 21 feet from Lake Superior to Lake Huron and forbidding the waterway commuting, the Soo Locks enable ships to travel between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes. The locks pass an average of 10,000 ships per year, despite being closed during the winter from January through March, when ice shuts down shipping on the Great Lakes. We are going to hotel after dinner.

Marie for Mackinac City. We will drive through a five-mile-long suspension bridge connecting the upper and the lower half of Michigan peninsula to reach Mackinaw. This city is famous for the magnificent scenic view. We will take a scenic speedboat (round-trip) to get to Mackinac Island. Visitors are feeling immersed in to a peaceful world where only the life essentials and natural beauty co-exist. The whole island is well preserved to remain the urban style of the 19th century. Since motor vehicles are not permitted to intrude on the natural beauty of Mackinac Island, there is no better way to visit this historic isle and see the legendary points of interest than by carriage. You can take a carriage tour at your own expense to explore the parks or visit the museums and the Grand Hotel. Built in 1887, Grand Hotel is famous as the filming site for the 1980 film Somewhere in Time starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. Sip a coffee on the hotel’s porch (longest in the world) like its notable visitors of the hotel include five U.S. presidents, Russian president Vladimir Putin, inventor Thomas Edison, and author Mark Twain. Later we will then head to Frankenmuth, a German descendant town in Central America. To experience the entirely different local culture, we will dine at a well-known local restaurant and enjoy some world famous German sausage with authentic German beers.
