ADVENTURE NORTH
WHERE ADVENTURE FALLS FROM THE SKY, GROWS FROM THE GROUND AND SPRINGS FROM LAKE SUPERIOR.
Here is where the largest fresh waters on earth create a peninsula called the Keweenaw. Escape to Isle Royal National Park and find solitude in the pristine, remote wilderness while sharing trails with the island’s moose and wolves. Or escape into history by visiting the Keweenaw National Historic Park in Calumet, Michigan and experience the epic copper boom that built the United States by exploring an underground mine. Hike, pedal, paddle, and ride countless miles of world-class outdoor recreation trails, or listen to Lake Superior’s soothing waves as they crash along our secluded beach shores. In the Keweenaw, endless vacation discoveries await!

Stoking the Finnish Fire: Sauna in the Keweenaw (The Crossing Place 2024)
A place of cleansing, relaxation, community, and peace - the sauna is a Finnish tradition that is rekindling its fire in the Keweenaw. The customs of sauna were brought to the Copper Country by the Finnish immigrants who sought work in the booming copper mining industry. While the mines faded, the Finns and their customs of sauna in the home and community did not. These days, appreciation for local Finnish-American history and wellness are bringing Keweenaw sauna culture to the fore! Jim Kurtti, Honorary Consul for Republic of Finland, speaks on the strength of the Sauna Belt.

Though most of my passion lies under water (Amateur Underwater Archeologist) I always appreciate people taking the time to document and share history with others/ the world before it gets lost to the pages if time. Thank you for this video. I will have to stop by and see the area next year when I am up diving the wrecks around the Keweenaw... From Lansing, wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving, and a great week.
Enjoy your snow❤😊 greez from switzerland❄️❄️❄️😊
We lived in Laurium in 1977
906!....love it.
My mom and dad were from Calumet and I was just there in October!
Love it
Isn't the proper traditional way done nude?
Yes, well done! I wish that some day I could visit the Michigan and meet the people of Finnish heritage living there
There are many here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, specifically here in the Keweenaw! There's a lot of incredible Finnish history here to explore and folks to meet!
Terveisiä Suomesta!
Hello from your American neighbors! Kiitos!!
Done the tight way and with the proper pronunciation! Kiitos!😅 🇫🇮🇫🇮
We take sauna seriously up here! 😄
Keweenaw.... Bob went oh. Others just clapped. It was a good fourth of july.🎇
Nice
Come on snow//don't be another wanna be!!
Nuttin like the Mariner, eh Kauppi?? You know who this is!
I want to go there! It is a lovely place! Congratulations Steve! Greetings from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico
Lots of improvements. Good work. However , "LoHo" is an... interesting name. 😉😂 And, it is really not a natural association in the mind Why not something including "waterfront"? PS: Where would HiHo be? Somewhere near a mine shaft possibly? 😊
That's a blast from the past. Hope you're well and still playing drums/music, Nate.
So cool. I love to explore. But I am not able too because I don't have a drivers licence 😢. My Grandmother came from Finland and migrated to the copper towns in Michigan. I've always wanted to go up there and explore.
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW...this has to be the BEST video i've seen...thank you so much for this one! I am homebound disabled and can't get out and about anymore and it kills me...this is simply spectacular!
So glad we can bring a little of the great Keweenaw outdoors to you!
How awesome! GO GIRL! Thrilled you are here! AND you know beer...HUGE U.P. here! 😆
I can’t wait till early spring
AMEN. PURE beauty indeed!
I've lived in Minnesota all my life and we have great Fall colors. That said I would have to say the U.P. of Michigan colors are the best in the Midwest. And you don't have to worry about crowds either.
Just visited the UP last week and did the tour on Friday Sept 20th. Awesome place to tour and I even got to see a few bats which was fantastic . I recommend bringing a good flashlight to see in all the holes and to see down into the level beneath you. A++
Where is 2:35?
The Covered Drive/Houghton County.
@@LadyYoop Is that the drive on the way to Freda?
Yep. The Covered Rd.
@@jimknarr yes
PHENOMENAL!
UA-camrs and their lust for views are causing isle royale to become over crowded
Bless you all....When my nephew got married (way back when), Taco brought smoked fish down. Unreal.
They're so kind and community focused! So sweet to have a personal memory with them!
@@VisitKeweenaw My nephew and their son are good buddies!!
This place is the best! Wish they were open year round.
Us too! They did mention to us during the interview they're trying to extend their season at the restaurant! They keep a brisk social media presence to stay up to date with their happenings and season dates!
Gotta Love the DOG :)
This is so beautiful! I'm homebound...and boy how I wish I could hang down there!
Now I understand why they tore down the old parking garage…I wish it was still there. #Gentrification
As a Michigan Tech alumna, I have loved and returned to this place for 50 years. Thank you for saving the Keweenaw.
I Love the video
I love it so much 🎉❤❤🎉
It is really pretty🎉❤
You are good at this
❤❤❤
Respecting Private Property is a big deal and too many people take that for granted! I own the Portage River Lighthouse and am in the process of restoring it, but it’s also my families home. Since it’s a historic maritime landmark people seem to feel entitled to enter the property and into our private areas without asking permission. Not only is this disrespectful but people also don’t understand the potential hazards of trespassing, such as where the undercut banks are, where construction is happening, and that the stucco on the tower is being removed and can fall off.
What !? 😧
So sorry for your loss I met your father a few times , it's my family's turdishion to visit the Delaware mine when we come up to the great U.P
Hope you get to visit soon!
I love the Keweenaw. Easily my most favorite place I've been. Thank you for keeping the history alive!
There's a lot to love about the Delaware Mine! The spirit of welcome and great historical exploration is well alive there!
I'm really sorry to hear of his passing; he was a really nice man, I remember meeting him! That being said, I'm more than happy to hear that you've continued to keep it open so it doesn't suffer the same fate as the Arcadian! Warm wishes to the both of you~ ^^
Tom was a welcoming fellow, and his family is the same! We are so glad to see the Mine is getting upgraded and even more interesting!
i cant wait to visit!
been there several times and never gets old. Thanks for keeping it open, it truely is a treasure. Sorry for your lose and best wishes
A must-visit for anyone up in the Keweenaw!
At times, it does seem that the general public needs to be reminded of the basic ground rules, common sense and courtesy. The Keweenaw Peninsula is indeed precious to all Michiganders and lovers of her beauty. Also, the people in Keweenaw are gracious and accommodating to all.
Great video
thank you!
I live there i love it
it's a great place to be!
I wish this was extant when I was a student at MTU. It's probably named after the famous dentist of 1980's Dr. Nara.
It is indeed named in honor of Dr. Bob Nara! Hopefully you can come visit this beautiful namesake park sometime!
Whatever might be done to encourage MDOT to place signs at the North and South entries to Brockway Mountain Dr informaing off-roaders that access via the paved road is unlawful in a ORV that is not licensed for road use and that there are no ORV trails to the peak would be helpful. MDOT is reluctant to place signs. Personally I have seen many ORVs/ATVs on the roadway/or at the top that are not licensed for "road" use.
