My dream is to see all of the Michigan lighthouses…

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!

Living in the Upper Peninsula for five years now (what!), I’m becoming a location repeater, just because… I have my favorite spots up here in different seasons now! This bridge, well not even technically a bridge, but it’s a snowmobile bridge over the Yellow Dog River near Big Bay, but it’s just a vibeeeee! I ventured out here on a weeknight, was racing to make sure I hit that golden hour light, and wore a bit different of an outfit! We finally have some chillier temperatures up here, so I can layer, and I just love autumn style and colors. It’s the best. 🍁

Autumn is HERE, guys. 🍂 Trying to at least hit my usual haunts this year again… which include a few trips out to Big Bay, which is just… a town I have such a special place in my heart for. I spent a long time reading outside drinking a chaider (chai/cider!), before making the drive out there, grabbing a bite at Thunder Bay Inn, and heading down to the beach to take a quick peek, and ended up just staying there for golden hour, because it was legit so beautiful, warm, breezy, and just… magical.
