Crossing the Mackinac
Bridge takes us to the Upper peninsula, almost a
world of its own you can enjoy Pictured Rocks
National Lakeshore, the locks at Sault Sainte
Marie, Miners Castle , Chapel Creek. Tahquamenon
Falls includes one of the largest falls in the
eastern United States. The Upper Falls are about
200 feet wide and 40 feet high. The Lower Falls
are made up of a series of rapids and cascades
divided by an island. The Tahquamenon River is
also known as the Dark River or the Golden River.
It plays an important part in Longfellow's poem, The
Song of Hiawatha.

| Crossing back over the
bridge and heading down the east side of Michigan
you will enjoy many views such as the farm lands
Michigan has to offer, the AuSable River,
Frankenmuth, the Firestone Farmhouse, and
eventually come to Detroit, Michigan's largest
city. Detroit is also where you will find the
bridge connecting the United States with Canada -
note the two countries flags on the bridge. |

A trip to Michigan
isn't complete without a visit to Greenfield
Village, a collection of historic buildings from
around the United States established by Henry
Ford. See such sites as Grimm Jewelry Store on
Main Street, the birth house of Henry Ford, and
the Statue of Thomas Edison. |
