It’s another grade-A Upper Peninsula journey for Team UTR!! If you haven’t been to Michigan’s beautiful upper peninsula yet … what’s your excuse this time? You’re afraid of bridges … you don’t like clean air … your dog ate your driver's license. Well for gosh sakes, cut it out … Michigan’s incredible UP is what I like to call “our own out west” … and it’s right here. From pristine forests and waterfalls to fabulous art and fantastic food finds, everything you need for a true Michigan adventure is all over the UP. Even if you’re a city-slicker … there’s tons of energy, culture, history, and architecture up here to keep you happily hopping from town to town.

In Michigan, we have more great beach towns than you can shake a sand-filled shoe at, so we decided to show you two more great ones. First, we head to beautiful Pentwater and stay at a B&B with extra walls … that’s extra nice. We even show you how to learn a new skill with new friends and a great place to eat and relax that will satisfy “all” your senses. Then we travel up the coast to Majestic Manistee for a flight that will get you high on this great town. We also show you how some enlightened folks are using an old ironworks to put a new spin on eating healthy. And, last but not least, we take you to a historic hotel that even has its own happy place right in the basement. Oh yeah… we’ll even show you the beaches in these towns. Two more great places to eat, stay, and play on Under the Radar Michigan.
