Leaving for Copper Harbor on the 31st. Staying till the 7th. Got a couple questions.

1.) Whats the terrain like? Is it hilly, flat, straight, or curvey? What's the trails like?

2.) Are there plenty of gas stations that are accessible to sleds?

3.) Are there any sites I should take in while I'm there?

4.) Anything I might need to know?

Thanks for any input.

What state is this?

Go to the tip of the penisula. Its a non groomed trail but its nice out there. Go to the top of Mt. Brockway. Eat at Fitzgeralds. Basically if your gonna be there a week you will see it all and some more than twice. Have a great time. You will find the full asortment of trails.

He's talking Michigan's U.P. Revrnd :wink:
1. The terrain is fairly hilly with some large climbs is you get courageous off trail. The trails are generally very good but as usual Sat afternoons can be a little rough.
2. If I remember correctly there is only 1 station in Copper Harbor and its been in a constant state of remodel the last 3 seasons :whistling: I try to avoid getting gas in Copper Harbor as the last time I was there the gas was still stored above ground (condensation). There are other towns in the Key that you will also find gas in as well.
3. The biggest sight to see close to Copper Harber is of corse Brockway Mtn, you can ride to the top and get a postcard view of the town of Copper Harber.
4. If you eat at the Mariner get the Seafood Nacho's they are definitly a must. I have heard a rumor though that they are no longer on the menu :bash:

Just one more tip, how about staying up there a bit longer for the SW ride?? :thumbsup:

I've put on alot mile up there, never had a problem finding gas, every 40 miles or so you'll come across gas.

If your around Hancock try eating at Quincy's , pretty good pizza for Mi.

Also check out a bar in Hought/Hanccok called the Library.

IT'LL BE THE BEST RIDE YOU EVER HAD.
WAS THERE 2 YEARS AGO=BROCKWAY MOUNTAIN IS A MUST.CHECK OUT THE SHACKS AT THE TOP OF THE HILL-THEY'RE ACTUALLY SLED CLUB DWELLINGS WITH PROPANE BOTTLES AND ALL.
BE CAREFUL CROSSING THE MOUNTAIN=WE CAME BACK FROM THE MARINER ONE NIGHT AT DUSK=WITH A 50 MPH WIND AND I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING OVER THE EDGE.
WHEN YOU SEE IT-YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
I WAS SCARED BAD=BUT WE MADE IT.
WHILE YOU'RE IN THE "KEYS"=DON'T FORGET TO GO TO THE BAR IN GAY,MI(YES IT HAS A ZIP CODE).
THE TAXIDERMY INSIDE WILL BLOW YOU AWAY.I MET THE FAMOUS =JOHN DEE= THERE.WAY GOOD GUY.GOOD GUY.
IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS-YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PIC TAKEN BY THE SIGN OUTSIDE :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: .IT'S THE BEST THAT THE U.P. HAS TO OFFER=THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME.
DUNNER TWICE.
CALL ME COLLECT=TELL ME I'M WRONG. :wink:
BOSS.

Boss:

I am trying to convince several fellow riders to ride from Munising to Hougton in mid-January...are there any particular areas/trails I should be sure to hit?

We either ride from Hougton Lk to the Soo or from the Soo to Munising...still trying to convince them to ride the West UP.

Appreciate any advice.

Post your trail reports here.
