Michigan Travel: A Tour Of The Upper Peninsula

National Geographic (August 9, 2023) – From mountain biking to experiencing the northern lights, join National Geographic Photographer Michael George as he explores Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

The Upper Peninsula is a forested region in Michigan bordering 3 of the Great Lakes and extending outward from Wisconsin. It’s connected to Michigan’s Lower Peninsula by the roughly 5-miles-long Mackinac Bridge, which spans the Straits of Mackinac.

Sandwiched between the 2 peninsulas is Mackinac Island, a car-free vacation destination with the iconic 1887 Grand Hotel and the Victorian-era Fort Mackinac.
