5 must-see stops in Michigan's Copper Country
These places are echoes of the days when copper was king, legacies of the rich mining history of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. And they are my favorite pieces of this remote Michigan puzzle, a region whose physical beauty can still stop your breath.
More than 10 billion pounds of copper were pulled out of the Keweenaw between 1844 and 1968. Yet treasure still gleams up here for tourists, and I'm not just talking about brilliant fall color, which should hits peak in late September.
