Calumet has really made some recovery progress since the last time I was there in 2002. But it is tough to create tourist towns when there is either snow or mud on the ground 6 months out of the year. It's been four or five generations now since the copper industry because permanently extinct up there and still seems like it is all waiting for the lights in the mine offices to come back on.
@gd2015 Indeed for some strange reason they do seem to hang on to hope. of mining. Although as you say things have been improving. The town has Alot of potential! And as more people are discovering the area some are taking interest and investing. Yes Winter is harsh...but some love it or they figure out how to enjoy spring thru fall! Hopefully there's still a decent future for Calumet because it truly is a beautiful town.
@Not_stoked Yeah I can imagine flights from far away they will tax ya to get to Hancock airport Even Chicago to Hancock round trip is about $240 through orbitz...but hope ya get to return 1 day!
