Porcupine Mountains snowshoe trip 2015
6 days/5 nights snowshoeing in the Porcupine Mountains (western Upper Peninsula of Michigan.) Stayed in yurts that are scattered throughout the park. Each one has 4 bunks and a wood burning stove. No running water or well. Very simple. Lost Creek yurt required a 7 mile hike in along an ungroomed flagged trail. Never got cold and, if anything, brought too many clothes! Life slows down up here. Enjoy!

This is a highlights music video of my trip into the Porcupine Mountains in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. You get to see Lake Superior shoreline, the park's main waterfalls, and the main draw, Lake of the Clouds. I also stopped at Copper Peak Ski Jump in Iron Mountain, Michigan, the only free standing ski flying jump in the western hemisphere. The chairlift scenes are taking me up to that ski jump. Lastly, the boat footage is from an Apostle Islands cruise tour I took.

I never knew Porcupines did the tree climbing thing. I figured them to be rather bulky and cumbersome.
Imagine the damage they could do if they decided to dive bomb ya? LoL
Added a couple still shots at the end, sorry for the unsteady zoom and the wind.

Sledding down the Porkies Ski Hill
This is a little fun I had sledding down the Porkies Ski Hill in the Porcupine Mountains State Park in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This is during week 10 of filming for our documentary on the Porcupine Mtns State Park. This is going down the Hidden Valley trail, starting at 1200ft in elevation down to the parking lot at 800ft, it took about 3 min, max speed was 17.2mph on the H2O sled.
Fall chairlift rides in the Porcupine Mountains
Get a new perspective on fall in the Porcupine Mountains and Ontonagon County. Chair lift rides are available during fall weekends at the Porcupine Mountains Ski Area, and are a great way to take in fall color. Other top spots to see fall color are at Copper Peak, the Lake of the Clouds overlook and the Summit Peak tower.
