      Photo by Harry Kline
      Mackinac Island is located in Lake Huron, just off-shore of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The island's Grand Hotel is an architectural wonder. Built in just 94 days, it has the longest porch in the world at 660 feet. No visit to Mackinac Island is complete without a visit to the hotel to photograph the building and gardens from outside. Entrance will cost you $10, but it is worth the price. If you are a hotel guest a horse and carriage from the Grand will transport you ...

      Two of the most surprising things about Lake Superior are its remarkable depth, 1333 feet (at the lowest point) and the fact that shortly below the surface, the temperature is only slightly above freezing throughout the year. It also generates some of the most extreme weather in North America and 30-foot waves and gale-force winds make it treacherous for even the most modern of ...

The trip takes about 30 minutes, and is sometimes cool and wet if the wind blows. There are no cars allowed on Mackinac, but you can walk, bicycle ...
