This book has been a labor of love that spans many years. The love is for Michigan's Upper Peninsula (U.P.), its places and people. I've spent many years exploring the wilderness of the U.P., and one thing has become apparent. No matter what part you find yourself in, fascinating sights are around every corner. There are parks, wilderness areas, and museums. There are ghost towns and places named after legends. There are trails to be walked and waterways to be paddled. In the U.P., life is meant to be lived to the fullest.
In this book, I've listed 40 destinations from every corner of the U.P. that have places of interest. Some reflect rich history, while others highlight natural wonders that abound across the peninsula. So many sights exist, in fact, that after a lifetime of exploration, I'm still discovering new and fascinating places that I've never seen or heard of. So, join in the adventures. The Upper Peninsula is an open book--the one that's in your hand.
"Without a doubt, Mikel B. Classen's book, Points North, needs to be in every library,
gift shop and quality bookstore throughout the country--particularly those located in
Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Not only does Classen bring alive the 'Hidden Campgrounds, Natural
Wonders and Waterways of the Upper Peninsula' through his polished words, his masterful
use of color photography make this book absolutely beautiful. Points North will long
stand as a tremendous tribute to one of the most remarkable parts of our country."
