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!

Yellow Dog River Bridge

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. 🍁

Beach in Big Bay

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.
