"The upper falls boardwalk features five switchback landings with interpretive displays, benches and views of old-growth forest along the way."

Heading to the Upper Peninsula for today's postcard! 🌲✈️

This postcard captures the quiet atmosphere of the Iron Mountain airport. I love the functional beauty of these twin arched hangars and the scattered light aircraft waiting on the grass. It’s a wonderful look at how aviation connected even the more remote parts of Michigan during the mid-20th century.

Happy #Tuesday afternoon from the #Northland!

It's a mostly #cool and #dreary day for the region thanks to some #showers, some #fog near #LakeSuperior, and overall #cloud cover.

Some spots in northwest #Wisconsin and the #UpperPeninsula are enjoying the #warm side of #spring.

9:50 P.M. #RADAR UPDATE:

We do have a new line of #showers and #thunderstorms that have formed along the lake #breeze boundary along the South Shore region of the #Northland.

The #UpperPeninsula and parts of northwest #Wisconsin will need to watch out for a brief #downpour, #lightning, and possible small #hail.

"The public can use the Michigamme Highlands for recreation, including hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and berry-picking.

There also are designated mountain biking and horseback-riding trails, along with 70-plus miles of roads and trails for snowmobiling and off-road vehicle use."
