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. ⛸️🧊

Winter Weekend in the Keweenaw

If you’re looking for a way to escape the ordinary and explore a scenic winter wonderland… consider a weekend getaway to the Keweenaw. From Fitzgerald’s cozy lodging and some of the best food in the U.P. to waterfalls and lighthouses, there was no shortage of activities to keep us adventuring around.

Winter log stack

Just a quick post… with an outfit I wore to Big Bay! I just felt like getting out of the house, and I love a tradition of “Fish Fry Fridays” so I was like… I’ll take a drive to Big Bay, see what photo opps are along the way (always excited to spot a log stack!), golden hour at the beach, and then go to Thunder Bay Inn for fish fry!

Miscellaneous Marquette

On a sunny Saturday, I decided to trek around Marquette and hit a few miscellaneous things I haven’t visited yet… including a waterfall, beach, and roadside park. Of course, stopping for a favorite bagel sandwich and coffee along the way! Read on for a few random things to do in Marquette!

Little Presque Isle

Little Presque Isle is now one of my favorite spots in town! To get to Little Presque, just head down 550/Big Bay Road… the same way you’d take to Sugarloaf or Wetmore Landing. Just 1.2 miles north of Wetmore’s entrance on the same side of the road, you’ll see signs for Little Presque.

Iron Ore Heritage Trail

If you’re driving into Marquette, you’ll likely spot a stone structure that looks like an igloo. These kilns used to burn wood into charcoal that powered furnaces that converted iron ore and limestone into pig iron! See you learn something new every time you read Selective Potential! 😂
