    • Which route to take?

      Sault Ste. Marie Apr 25, 2013 at 3:18 PM

      Hi, I will be driving from Madison Wisconsin to Niagara Falls in June and will be crossing the border at Sault Ste Marie. I would really appreciate some advice on the following: For an overnight stay which would you recommend, the usa or ontario side of the border? What route would you recommend for the onward journey? Is there a route that includes a car ferry crossing? 13 years ago I did a long drive around the great lakes and I remember taking a car ferry but cannot remember where from or where it arrived (across part of lake huron maybe?) I do remember really enjoying that ferry trip though and would love to find it again to enjoy with my children. I seem to recall spending a few hours on a lovely beach after the ferry crossing. Any clues and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

      Is the cab from any of these companies a flat rate to get from Copper Harbor back to Houghton, MI. Neil's Cab:(906)-482-5515, Mom's Taxi:(269)-337-3368, Gregg's Taxi:(906)-337-5233, Easy Ride:(906)-482-7530 or Superior Cab Company:(906)-337-5515 Also is there a train, dinner train ride or otherwise, from Copper Harbor to Houghton, MI? The NPS website (http://www.nps.gov/isro/faqs.htm) has this listed but gives no info on cab rates. Unfortunately money is an object, and sometimes these specialty transportation services can be unreasonably expensive.

      We'll be travelling from the lower peninsula to Houghton to visit my mother in law and her daughter and husband and three great adopted kids. Anybody have suggestions for must-see/must-do on the way there or back. Travel dates are September 30 to October 7. Any suggestions appreciated. I've never been to the UP and I'm 51!
