Summary

Larger than the four states of Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts and Rhode Island combined, Michigan's Upper Peninsula boasts a continuous 1,700-mile shoreline provided by Lakes Superior. Michigan, and Huron. With more trees than residents and more white sand beaches than you can hit in a week, the U.P. is one of America's best-kept secrets. This book takes visitors to sleepy lakeside villages, bustling beach towns, and the least visited (and possibly most beautiful) national park in the country. It is your personal Yooper traveling companion-friendly and knowledgeable, pointing you toward secret waterfalls and breathtaking vistas, romantic dining destinations, and the best piping hot pasties. Selective recommendations, along with detailed maps and informative photos, make this guide a must-have for your trip. Book jacket.
