What To Expect
Brockway Mountain Drive
I have a really great short side trip coming up that will take us to some great scenery from an elevated vantage point. It's less than 10 minutes each way and highly recommended. Let's go up Brockway Mountain and then we'll come back to the beach.
Copper Harbor
We're about to enter Copper Harbor, the gateway to Isle Royale and the last inhabited town on the Copper Island.

4.00This was a good self-paced audio tour that gave us a good overview of the Keweenaw peninsula with the opportunity to explore more if we wanted. It was easy to download and set up, and flexible; we did it on two different days because we were staying in Calumet, sort of in the middle. The narrator was good, easy to understand, and entertaining. Our only complaint is that we wish he had given more information about the location of public bathrooms, especially in Copper Harbor where there aren’t many. Would have saved us some time if he had pointed out that the restrooms are located in the visitors’ center, and where it is. Overall, an efficient and enjoyable way to spend our limited time.
Add ease to your U.P. drive!

5.00This was an awesome accompaniment to our U.P. adventure. We learned a ton about the history and the area. We all agreed that we were grateful we had this informed gentleman's voice guiding us along. His humorous interjections made us all chuckle, as well.
I would recommend

5.00Before our tour, we were trying to imagine why a 52 mile drive would take 5-6 hours, but afterward, we realized it could have taken even more than that, so much to see and learn about! We started at 9am on a beautiful sunny fall day, and finished at 5pm, and we didn't do every stop. We took to calling our narrator "Bob", he was so fun to listen to, and very accurate with directions. We spent the most time at Quincy Mine, Eagle River Falls, JamPot, Eagle Harbor, and had lunch and viewed an amazing church on the Lake Linden detour - but by far the most impressive detour was Brockway Mountain, wow! We were too "toured out" to stop at the Life Saving Museum or Fort Wilkins, hopefully another time. We learned about pasties, and afterward we had some fantastic ones - first at Syl's Cafe in Ontonagon MI, and then at Copper Pasty just over the Wisconsin border in Ashland - we are fans!! Yes, "Bob", you inspired us to be part of the "adventurous bunch", thank you! Will definitely consider another audio driving tour.
