U.P. Winter Adventure
Custom dates
Take
a break and venture North to the Upper Peninsula. Discover
tranquil snowy white landscapes, hardy wildlife and the mysteries of “old
man winter” and Mother Nature at work.
The trip will begin in the warmth of Chamberlin’s Ole Forest Inn,
overlooking Manistique Lake in Curtis. Here, all of your amenities will
be provided, including a wonderful hot tub for those who enjoy the crisp
night air under the northern lights. The Inn is a historic building, with
cozy rooms above a restaurant, 
tavern,
and sitting area with glowing fire place. It is truly a step back in time.
Day 1, your guide, will take you by snowshoe, one of
oldest transportation inventions, to a destination along Lake Superior.
The topography is rolling sand dunes formed during the Lake Nippissing
era….many, many, moons ago.
Day
2 , be ready for excitement and lots of enthusiasm from your
very own canine dogsled team provided by Wilderness Trail Outfitters.
The mushers and dogs will take you on a energetic opportunity along the
rolling hardwood forest trails. Dogsledding was once the primary mode
of travel used by mail carriers and for those who utilized dogs in transport
work. Expect to learn mushing techniques, eat an authentic UP pasty for
lunch, and meet new furry friends who love to run.
Day
3 , includes a guided cross country skiing jaunt in Seney Wildlife
Refuge, one of the largest refuges in the US. We'll also take a detour
to Shingleton where we will visit Iverson's, a world famous traditional
snowshoe business.
The trip includes, 3 nights lodging (4th night is free), 3 guided day trips with lunch, snowshoes
and skis, if needed. Winters in the Upper Peninsula are magical. How many
places can you say, “it is so quiet that you can hear the wing beats
of a raven?”
