Nestled at the northernmost tip of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Copper Harbor is a hidden gem on the shores of Lake Superior, offering an escape unlike any other. Thanks to the lake’s cooling breezes, summer here remains refreshingly comfortable, even in the warmest months, making it an ideal time to explore. 

Stargazing in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is an adventure few can replicate, especially when it comes to the Northern Lights. The U.P. offers some of the darkest skies on Earth, making it an ideal place to witness the aurora borealis. These mesmerizing displays are tied to solar activity and are most vibrant during the equinoxes when Earth's magnetic field is most vulnerable. With its latitude and low light pollution, the U.P. is a top destination for aurora chasers. If you’re lucky enough to witness the lights, it’s a sight you’ll never forget.
