favorite things to do in sault ste. marie, michigan it’s monday! and today was… rough. to say the least. but tomorrow is a new day! today’s post is going to be a new series on my blog. if you don’t know, i’m originally from the upper peninsula of michigan. about 2.5 years ago, i relocated to west michigan. to say i love it down here is an understatement! i will say, however, that the upper peninsula holds (and will always hold) the most special place in my heart. it’s home – and always will be. i am so thankful for being able to grow up in a place full of adventure and the most beautiful beaches. with that being said, i cannot tell you the number of times (pretty much daily) i get asked for recommendations for those who are planning their visit to the upper peninsula of michigan. i won’t say i know *all of the cool spots and there’s still a lot for me to explore myself, but i feel like i can make some pretty good recommendations. my first post in this series all about the upper peninsula of michigan, is going to focus on my home town. i’m going to start pretty broad with just five of my favorite things to do in sault ste. marie, mi. i know that it’s currently winter (and if you’re in the UP will continue to be winter for 3 more months), but i didn’t want to focus on just one season for this post. so if you’re planning on making a trip to sault ste. marie, michigan any time soon, check out the places below! mission hill if you’re looking for the most beautiful view, but not a huge fan of hiking, mission hill is the place for you! located just outside of sault ste. marie, it is the most incredible view of spectacle lake. if you look close enough, you can even get a glimpse of mother superior (lake superior) herself – my favorite of the great lakes. my favorite time of the year to catch this view is during the fall, but it’s beautiful any time of year! clyde’s a tradition that my family and i have done every spring and summer since i can remember, is grabbing a burger from clyde’s drive in and watching the boats and freighters go by. if you make a trip…

ugh, i can’t believe the weekend is over. how annoying. summer weekends are just so nice! warm weather, hikes, relaxation – the best. i finally got the chance to go through the rest of my photos from our trip to marquette over the long fourth of july weekend. if you missed my previous post full of waterfalls, click here! this trip was honestly a dream for kylo. he got to go hiking, swimming and never slowed down! it was great. if you don’t already know, marquette is one of my favorite places ever. i lived there for a few years while i was going to college, so it’s always so nostalgic when i get to go back and visit. unfortunately, that’s not as often as i would like. the first place we went to was black rocks! not the brewery, but the actual rocks. you can go cliff jumping and it’s really awesome! we didn’t go to the side where you could jump off cliffs because we had kylo. dogs aren’t allowed on presque isle park, so we had to leave him in the car which sucked. so we made that stop short! most everything you do in marquette is dog friendly, except for presque isle park. honestly though, it’s so beautiful. you’re right at the edge of lake superior (my favorite of the great lakes) and it’s so calming. after that we decided it was time to hike sugarloaf mountain! it was SO busy! i mean, i figured it would be busy because of the holiday, but it was almost overwhelming. kylo was super nervous the whole time, i felt bad! regardless, it was still an awesome hike. you cannot beat the view! after our hike, we decided to take a break and chill on the beach. we headed to wetmore beach, which is my favorite one in marquette! it’s rarely busy so it’s super relaxing. there were other dogs there too and kylo wanted to play with them so bad. but he LOVED swimming here. he played fetch for honestly an hour straight in the water. it was great! black rocks lower harbor sugarloaf mountain king of the mountain! this view! lol he was so happy wetmore beach there you have it! that sums up my crazy one day in marquette. there are SO many exciting things happening over the next few weeks. in two weeks we…
