snowy weekend in calumet
Calumet is one of the best towns to visit in winter! A cozy stay at the historic Laurium Manor Inn, dinner at Michigan House Brewpub, the CopperDog 150 (dog sled races!), coffee from Keweenaw Coffee Works and pasties from Toni’s Country Kitchen, a wintry drive to Calumet Waterworks Park, drinks at Shute’s Saloon and dinner at Carmelita’s (gotta try their famous thimbleberry margarita!) 🍹
ICE SKATING AT THE ORE DOCK
I always love an ice-skating moment at the Ore Dock when Lake Superior freezes over! Conditions have been pretty ideal this year for it to happen. Subzero temperatures and not a lot of snow the last couple of days, which is exactly what we need! Thankfully Elliot had an extra pair of hockey skates I fit into… literally saved the day, so we got out there and skated around for a bit, and it was so funnnnn. ⛸️🧊
WINTER IDEAS IN THE U.P.
Looking to spend a winter weekend in the Upper Peninsula? Here are some fun things to do near the Marquette area! Coffee from Velodrome, a small hike to Little Presque Isle, downtown shopping, dinner at one of our many cozy restaurants, an afternoon trip to Bond Falls (so amazing in winter!), a walk around Presque Isle Park, Laughing Whitefish Falls and a trip to the Eben Ice Caves (grab your Yaktrax!) ❄️
Two winter posts in a weeeeek!? Who is she! I wasn’t actually planning on blogging, but it helps when you have fun winter adventures with your photog boyfriend who is so freaking good at taking photos, so here we are! It was super sunny out yesterday, still in the 20s, but… I knew we had to get out for a little bit to enjoy some winter scenery. So we headed out to Wetmore Landing to take a little walk through the woods and out to Lake Superior! It’s really wonderful to be having a legit winter this year.
