snowy weekend in calumet
Calumet is one of the best towns to visit in winter! A cozy stay at the historic Laurium Manor Inn, dinner at Michigan House Brewpub, the CopperDog 150 (dog sled races!), coffee from Keweenaw Coffee Works and pasties from Toni’s Country Kitchen, a wintry drive to Calumet Waterworks Park, drinks at Shute’s Saloon and dinner at Carmelita’s (gotta try their famous thimbleberry margarita!) 🍹
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! 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, and it was so funnnnn. ⛸️🧊
WINTER IDEAS IN THE U.P.
Looking to spend a winter weekend in the Upper Peninsula? Here are some fun things to do near the Marquette area! Coffee from Velodrome, a small hike to Little Presque Isle, downtown shopping, dinner at one of our many cozy restaurants, an afternoon trip to Bond Falls (so amazing in winter!), a walk around Presque Isle Park, Laughing Whitefish Falls and a trip to the Eben Ice Caves (grab your Yaktrax!) ❄️

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. ⛸️🧊
