ONLY CHOICE
Seul Choix Pointe Lighthouse, pronounced Sis-shwa, means "only choice". It was named by the French who found it was the only harbor of refuge in this part of Lake Michigan. I’ve already done a full blog post of the interior/tower… saw this lighthouse for the first time back in 2019, but this was my first time being back here since living in the Upper Peninsula. A special place! ✨
A weekend in ironwood
Looking for a summer trip in the Upper Peninsula with plenty of waterfalls, a quaint downtown, fish fry, scenic overlooks, breweries, coffee shops, local shopping, and beautiful rocky beaches? Check out Ironwood! Gabbro Falls, Interstate Falls, Mt. Zion Scenic Overlook, and the Black River Harbor Pavilion are just a few of my favorite stops. 🌊
SNAPSHOTS FROM WHITEFISH POINT
A lovely evening in Paradise – I stayed at the Paradise Lakefront Lodge, walked over to dinner at The Inn, drank blackberry wine and ate wings, got their famous carrot cake to-go. Relaxed on the balcony with a view of Lake Superior, took a drive up to Whitefish Point to snap photos, windows down and music up on the way home, some of my favorite kind of moments. 😍
The east facing cliffs of Presque Isle. You can access this spot via car when the drive is open, and if you park along the side just beyond where the lookout/boardwalk view is, you’ll find a tiny path, that’ll take you right to this spot. Stunning. Vast views of Lake Superior, the Presque Isle Breakwater Lighthouse, cliffs, and if you head there early enough, a sunrise view.
