Eagle Harbor Lighthouse

Love a wintry moment at the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse! Elliot and I took a little weekend getaway to the Keweenaw last weekend, not knowing we were heading into an epic snowstorm, oof, but… we made it there and back alive! We had a great weekend overall, stayed in Eagle River, got to see the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse, have some delicious cocktails and food, and spend a little time in Houghton grabbing breakfast and coffee, checking out a shop, and snapping a photo in front of the lift bridge before heading home to Marquette! ❄️

Wetmore Landing

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.

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! As soon as I saw people out there, I was like, it’s on! 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, ran into photog friends, and it was so funnnnn. ⛸️🧊

CR-510 Bridge View

Fifth year… at the 510 Bridge in autumn! I decided to head out here midday, which I never do. I always wait til golden hour, and honestly, it was glorious because nobody was around and I was easily able to take photos and I didn’t miss peak colors! Yayyyy! But yeah, this spot is one of my absolute favorites in autumn, it’s easy to access, nearby parking, you can get views from the top of the new bridge and below on the old bridge, and if you haven’t been before in autumn, you just gotta goooo! 🍂

Pinecrest Northwoods

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the most beautiful cabin and resort in the Upper Peninsula… and can I just say, omg, this place is DREAMY. Located in Republic, Michigan… about 45 minutes west of Marquette, is Pinecrest Northwoods Lodging & Events. It’s a wilderness retreat with unique cabins of all sizes, glampsites and rustic campsites. They have over 100 acres of trails, an authentic Finnish sauna, and access to the Michigamme River and Juncob Lake. 🍁

A Day in Ontonagon County

Here’s a quick 24-hour trip to Ontonagon County in autumn… including a couple of must-see places like Lake of the Clouds and Bond Falls. While there’s so much more to do in this area, these are the quick hitters, especially in autumn. I always love to go to Lake of the Clouds in October… it’s just pure magic. 🍂 Dining options this time included Paul’s Restaurant and Syl’s Cafe, and if you have more time, be sure to check out Summit Peak, Bonanza Falls & the Paulding Light!
