We took advantage of a sunny October Saturday with a trip to Grand Marais and the Grand Sable Dunes! We made the three-mile round-trip walk to Au Sable Light, wandered around town and ended the day at Log Slide Overlook in the dreamiest pre-sunset light. Between the falling leaves, distant dunes, Lake Superior views and glorious autumn wind, it was the perfect final adventure of an especially beautiful fall in the Upper Peninsula. 🍂
Read MoreWe spent a beautiful autumn afternoon taking a walk at Little Presque Isle with friends, enjoying the remaining fall color, embracing the warm weather, skipping stones on Lake Superior, snapping a few photos. I wore my coziest fall uniform: my beloved Ribcage jeans, clogs and a new teddy fleece I’m living in. Add in a few Fresh Coast film blocks, spooky movies, homemade chili, 10K training and the best autumn chai from 231, and it was one very cozy October weekend! 🍁
Read MoreElliot and I headed west for an autumn weekend in Ironwood, where the color was just past peak but still lots of autumn color to enjoy! We took in the views from Mt. Zion, explored downtown, visited Hiawatha, chased waterfalls along the Black River and enjoyed views of Lake Superior. We ended our adventure with a chairlift ride at Copper Peak—although the whipping winds, dizzying heights and sketchy wooden planks kept us from reaching the very top! 😅
Read MoreFall color arrived early inland this year, so Elliot and I headed to the 510 Bridge for a little weeknight adventure. We explored the overlook, walked down on the old bridge and were somehow the only people there to witness the most incredible golden hour. Between peak reds and oranges, a cozy layered outfit and an unexpected sunset, it was one of those fleeting Upper Peninsula autumn evenings I wish I could bottle up. 🌅
Read MoreAn unexpectedly warm autumn evening turned into an impromptu date night in downtown Marquette! Elliot and I grabbed a patio drink at Ore Dock Brewing, snapped a few street photos and walked to Iron Bay for dinner outside. I paired some longtime fall favorites with my new rustic brown Blundstones for an easy layered outfit, and we spent the evening daydreaming about all of the colorful U.P. adventures we still want to squeeze in this season. 🍁
Read MoreAutumn color is arriving early in Marquette, so we headed to the cliffs at Presque Isle to soak up a warm evening and capture the changing season. It was an especially sweet day celebrating one year with Elliot, complete with brunch at Delft, photos by Lake Superior and a stop to pick up pumpkins. Add some new fall clogs, cozy movies and a million pumpkin-scented things in my studio apartment, and autumn is officially underway. 🍂
