What to expect
Rising up on the hill in front of us stands Quincy Mine, one of the first major landmarks we'll pass that speaks to the interesting and somewhat turbulent mining history of Copper Island. NOTE: This 52-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Keweenaw Copper Country in 5-6 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.
Brockway Mountain Drive
I have a really great short side trip coming up that will take us to some great scenery from an elevated vantage point. It's less than 10 minutes each way and highly recommended. Let's go up Brockway Mountain and then we'll come back to the beach.
Copper Harbor
We're about to enter Copper Harbor, the gateway to Isle Royale and the last inhabited town on the Copper Island.
Eagle Harbor
Eagle Harbor, just ahead, was founded in 1844 right along a strip of pit mines that Indigenous Americans used to mine copper before settlers arrived. No roads went to Eagle Harbor when the copper boom really picked up, so everything had to be shipped in, including supplies and workers.
Eagle River Falls
We're about to drive past Eagle River Falls, one of the best waterfalls in the Keweenaw. You may be able to eke out the fall as you cross the river up ahead but its much nicer to park the car and go and go take a closer look.
Estivant Pines and it's one of the last old-growth white pine stands left in the state. You can think of it like the giant sequoias of the north if you'd like.
It was built in 1844 by the Army in order to keep the peace between miners and the Indigenous community.
Lake Superior
All the water we see along this drive is the result of fire and ice. An active volcano in the North American Mid-Continent Rift set the stage for Lake Superior.
Rising up on the hill in front of us stands Quincy Mine, one of the first major landmarks we'll pass that speaks to the interesting and somewhat turbulent mining history of Copper Island.
The Jampot
As you round the corner up ahead, you may already smell cinnamon and spice wafting toward you. That would be thanks to the Jampot which we'll see on our right.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
