We did this trip in the beginning of MAY. Also, you can see all of these spots that we stopped at on a map at our Patreon - www.patreon.com/c/throughmylens
Yooper here, been watching you since before you really got big. The large part of the Sturgeon River gorge is farther down river. It really does get much larger than what you saw. Yes Yooper and Troll.
I knew very little about Michigan apart from its sports teams prior to your videos. Thank you for showing so much interesting footage and teaching me about this awesome state.
The Black Hole evened the score for Pops. He's afraid of heights and you're claustrophobic. The UP was gorgeous. Like Pops I like waterfalls and they were amazing. And like him too many steps. My feet and ankles won't do em anymore. Love the mushroom houses. Amazing how many parks Michigan has. Lake Superior is an awesome backdrop to almost everything. With all the goodies you two eat it's a wonder either of you can fit into your clothes. That fudge really looked so good I could almost taste it. Thank you for the armchair tour of museums, historic sites and tourist traps.
That was a fantastic trip beautiful scenery ❤ I love you and your dad bonding in these trips your a good son 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 keep traveling together 😅 and seeing the country God Bless You Both 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video! When you come back to Michigan to have to visit the Porcupine Mountains State Park in the UP. The lake of the clouds, bonanza falls, presque isle waterfall loop, cascade falls and agate falls trails are not to be missed!
So amazing to be able to come along on these journeys with you and your pops, especially as an Australian. Your videos have introduced me to parts of America I never knew about.
Hi Pops and Josh . Michigan is beautiful! Love the water falls too! The gorge is beautiful but I like the falls better ! Happy thanksgiving to you and the family !
Loved the video, my wife and I have been discovering a lot of Michigan the past few years. Muskegon is a beautiful city to spend some time as well, great burgers at the Station Grill. Also, Hell is a quirky little place.
Yes, Yooper comes from U Per, someone from the U.P.. As a native New Yorker turned Michigander, I loved learning about that little tidbit. And yep, that makes me a troll, living under the mighty Mack bridge in the lower peninsula.
Thanks for yet another great video! I really enjoyed this road trip through my home state. I live in the Bay Area now and this reminded me of how beautiful and unique Michigan is. ❤
This was great. Thanks for an awesome saturday josh, pops. Absolutely incredible thanks for spending the afternoon with us. Greatly appreciated and enjoyed!!!
The black hole was slightly terrifying!🤣 i laughed about that for 15 minutes. As always youve given us another great video and narration. You two are wonderful😊
There are so many beautiful places in Michigan to see. The Slweping Bear Sand Dunes, Atlanta Michigan area is filled with Elk and Bear and fun to try and see. Ludington State Park as a unique trail to a light house with crazy beautiful sand dunes and a place you can see a sunken ship.
What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Michigan looks beautiful- I enjoyed seeing the new video parts and liked seeing the other videos all put together for a cohesive look at the state. My favourite part was that giant wooden troll. Thanks Josh and Pops!
Loved this video! Thank you for showing me things in my state that I've never seen before! Kilwins chocolates and Detroit pizza alone make Michigan special.
Ahhh!!! You two always come to my rescue when I need to get away. Thank you for leading the way to new adventures. I’ve taken advantage of your San Francisco adventures!!
Beautiful video guys 😊 I live in a little town called Central Lake, between Petoskey & Traverse City. Michigan is beautiful Winter, Spring, summer, and fall! 👍🏻🤗
Good to see you guys out and about, and scenes from my home State warms my heart. Yes, the UP has its fair share of tourist trapped Pops🙄 and yes ‘Trolls’ occupy the lower peninsula😅
Did you hear/know/find out about Yooperlite rocks on the shores of Lake Superior? Pretty amazing and interesting little stuff. Thanks for the amazing videos. We use your videos as a guide for our own road trips.
My favorite place to get Pasties is in St Ignace. The place is close to the bridge and ia called A Taste of the Upper Peninsula. Best pasties are the original with beef and rutabaga with gravy! When I was 3 and 4 we had to take the ferry across from Mackinaw City to St. Ignace while the bridge was being built. Vendors used to come to the line of cars waiting, and sell pasties.
The Upper Peninsula is great. Hopefully you are able to see Marquette, MI, Copper Harbor MI and Houghton MI along with the Porcupine Mountains. It's beautiful!
Thank you for reminding me about ore dock in Marquette. I couldn’t recall in my memory what town was that. I also had another picture of building I can’t place on the map.
I was going on the top of Copper Peak on very windy day. The views were incredible. In May there were zillions of bugs on elevator level. None on the top.
awesome footage..please tell pops to throw another pops a bone and give us some info on this sporty bag TIA.. wife and I just love all your videos and channels. Beautiful family.. Happy Early Thanksgiving
Love this video as a former Michigander. One thing though, silver lake dunes are far superior to sleeping bear. There is just much more to do and they look more traditionally like barren dunes.
Hello! May I suggest you consider visiting Jim Thorpe, PA? It’s a picturesque small town in the middle of the Poconos. There is a beautiful park, railway and the museums, and a memorial to Jim Thorpe explaining the history of the towns name. I’d also suggest the Inn at Jim Thorpe, which his a historical building with reportedly haunted room.
Man I wish I would have known you were in the Grand Rapids area! I could have taken you to the best authentic Mexican taco place in Grand Rapids! The beautiful blue bridge across the grand river and more !
Glad Pops didn’t go on the lift! I too get vertigo and have height issues . My sweet family thought I should ride on a lift in West Virginia on a 90 degree july day !! I started to pass out, and my husband had to hold me in the seat😬 A trail guide rode me 6500 feet zigzagging down the mountain in an old golf cart ! They spotted me from an outlook post and waited for our car so they could get me out and off the mountain. INCREDIBLY embarrassing 😳 Never AGAIN😞😑
I'm a troll! 😆 the yooper folks are amazing people! We get treated like Family every we go. Just don't ask where the hot spot to fish is, they wont tell you lol
Nobody who made and sold fudge on Mackinaw Island could tell me what was different about Mackinaw fudge from other fudge. I asked a few different places.
Would you say the boat cruise on Lake Superior is motion sickness friendly? I can handle some boats but if they’re super rocky I’m at risk of getting sick. Even with Dramamine. It’s unfortunate
satans' religions make you human slaves believe that god has wife named mary whom it has never copulated with so she must be virgin mary who gave birth to god's son have you human slaves witnessed any virgin woman who has became pregnant & gave birth ? were your great grand mothers virgins when they gave birth to your grand parents ? were your grand mothers virgins when they gave birth to your parents ? were your mothers virgins when they gave birth to you human slaves ? if god truly did not want & need adam & eve to eat from certain tree then why did god create & place such tree around adam & eve if you human slaves truly don't want your children to consume poison then would you leave poison on the dining tables ? if god truly did not want & need adam & eve to eat from certain tree then why did god create & place such tree around adam & eve why did god create hell called earth where god abandoned adam eve & the ruling satans unless god wanted adam & eve to be abandoned ?
We did this trip in the beginning of MAY. Also, you can see all of these spots that we stopped at on a map at our Patreon - www.patreon.com/c/throughmylens

I wouldn't argue, it is incredible!
Yooper here, been watching you since before you really got big. The large part of the Sturgeon River gorge is farther down river. It really does get much larger than what you saw. Yes Yooper and Troll.

It really is!
I love debuting the longer videos on Saturday!
Thanks for the feedback! Maybe I will do that in the future!
@ThroughMyLens awesome! We get so excited and have to watch them that day, so I'd rather it be on a Saturday than a school night!
Great video! When you come back to Michigan to have to visit the Porcupine Mountains State Park in the UP. The lake of the clouds, bonanza falls, presque isle waterfall loop, cascade falls and agate falls trails are not to be missed!
Absolutely !!!! Most beautiful area.
I will for sure add those to the list for next time!
So amazing to be able to come along on these journeys with you and your pops, especially as an Australian. Your videos have introduced me to parts of America I never knew about.
So glad you enjoy them! I hope to make a video ion Australia some day!
Enjoying this so much!!! Who knew Michigan is amazing 😊
It really is a special place!
Hi Pops and Josh . Michigan is beautiful! Love the water falls too! The gorge is beautiful but I like the falls better ! Happy thanksgiving to you and the family !
I would definitely need my inhaler to get back up 60 + steps at that one waterfall .
Good call, that is an amazing waterfall for sure!
Loved the video, my wife and I have been discovering a lot of Michigan the past few years. Muskegon is a beautiful city to spend some time as well, great burgers at the Station Grill. Also, Hell is a quirky little place.
I need to go back and check out those spots, I loved Michigan!
I've seen all 5 of Thomas Dambo's trolls in Washington but my goal is to see all of them worldwide! I love Benny the Beardfisher!
It would be so cool to go on a journey to see them all! I just saw one in the Virgin Islands a few weeks ago
Yes, Yooper comes from U Per, someone from the U.P.. As a native New Yorker turned Michigander, I loved learning about that little tidbit. And yep, that makes me a troll, living under the mighty Mack bridge in the lower peninsula.
haha good to know it is confirmed, it is such a fun tidbit!
Great video Josh, your videos are so relaxing!
Thanks for yet another great video! I really enjoyed this road trip through my home state. I live in the Bay Area now and this reminded me of how beautiful and unique Michigan is. ❤

Port Huron’s view of Lake Huron, and the water is this deep blue if the sun is shining.
That was great! Very fun and engaging and a lot of variety.
Thanks for coming with me!

Magnificent and beautiful Thank you for sharing Josh and Pops this adventure.....it's amazing ❤💯

Thanks for the love you showed my home state! I grew up in the Detroit area and was fun to watch a couple west coast guys experience Michigan!
No problem! Such a beautiful place!

Well done content as always!
Glad you enjoy it!
YEAAAHHH you finally made it to MY backyard! ❤
I am bummed it took me so long, Michigan rules!
Did you hear/know/find out about Yooperlite rocks on the shores of Lake Superior? Pretty amazing and interesting little stuff.
Thanks for the amazing videos. We use your videos as a guide for our own road trips.
I wish I would have taken some time to look for them, it would have been a lot of fun!
Yep, I'm a troll living in the lower peninsula. Glad you had a U.P. pasty.
They were pretty good, I had more then I even showed in the video haha
The Dark Sky Park west of Mackinaw City is a hidden gem. You can find fossils and beautiful rocks and wade in Lake Michigan for a long way out.
Sable Falls beach is one of my favorite places in the whole state of Michigan! 😍
It is so beautiful!
My favorite place to get Pasties is in St Ignace. The place is close to the bridge and ia called A Taste of the Upper Peninsula. Best pasties are the original with beef and rutabaga with gravy! When I was 3 and 4 we had to take the ferry across from Mackinaw City to St. Ignace while the bridge was being built. Vendors used to come to the line of cars waiting, and sell pasties.
I love my state
I can see why!
Wow! That view of the lake’s amazing! If you didn’t tell us that its a lake, I would have thought it’s the ocean!
I agree, it is so massive!
I grew up in Michigan. Yes Yoopers and trolls is what the upper and lower people are called.
Great one!
Thanks!
The Upper Peninsula is great. Hopefully you are able to see Marquette, MI, Copper Harbor MI and Houghton MI along with the Porcupine Mountains. It's beautiful!
Loved Michigan so much, such an incredible place
The best part of the UP
Yes, Yoopers and Trolls are real! Another UP tidbit of info: Marquette has been called the Chicago of the UP!
Oh wow, I didn't know that! I wish I would have spent more time there for sure
Thank you for reminding me about ore dock in Marquette. I couldn’t recall in my memory what town was that. I also had another picture of building I can’t place on the map.
No problem, I was blown away when I saw it!
I absolutely love the pictured rocks tour u can take up in Munising seriously enjoyed that plus Mackinac island as well
It is stunning! I loved Mackinac so much as well
Thanks!
No problem, thank you!!
Like sin ver ❤. Amooo Michigan 😍
Yoopers do call people from the mitten trolls!
haha thanks for confirming!
I was going on the top of Copper Peak on very windy day. The views were incredible. In May there were zillions of bugs on elevator level. None on the top.
Oh wow, up there on a windy day would be nuts!
I think I caught a fear of heights from that ski jump Appreciated your voice was higher by about half an octave too.
haha It was so high up! In the voice over or in general?
at 1:02:52 Only 5'2 I am up to both of their armpits! lol Also Pop's smiles make us smile. :)
True. I’m a Troll but just love visiting “UP NORTH”. You missed going to the Sault locks 🥴
Both parts are so stunning!
Like this video!
Thanks for watching!
That's a tall burger at the Pink Pony. Wow.
haha I know right?
awesome footage..please tell pops to throw another pops a bone and give us some info on this sporty bag TIA.. wife and I just love all your videos and channels. Beautiful family.. Happy Early Thanksgiving
He loves that bag haha, here is a link - amzn.to/49Uzpf8
great video but after watching yous put away those pizzas, i had to get me one!!! nice trip
haha I am happy to have inspired a pizza trip 😂
Lehto's is the best.
Good to know!
Forget the scenery, I'm going for the pizza!
No judgement from me! haha
Luv luv luv the UP! What time off year was this?
The best time is middle of May. No mosquitoes yet. Bugs are horrible, nasty and in zillions. A head net is very helpful.
This was the very beginning of June
Love this video as a former Michigander. One thing though, silver lake dunes are far superior to sleeping bear. There is just much more to do and they look more traditionally like barren dunes.
On Mackinac Island I love Mighty Mac Hamburgers
Hello! May I suggest you consider visiting Jim Thorpe, PA? It’s a picturesque small town in the middle of the Poconos. There is a beautiful park, railway and the museums, and a memorial to Jim Thorpe explaining the history of the towns name. I’d also suggest the Inn at Jim Thorpe, which his a historical building with reportedly haunted room.
Sounds amazing, I will add it to the list!
Yes, it is true anyone under the bridge is a Troll and those above the bridge are Yoopers. I was a Troll.
haha I love it, thanks for sharing!
Man I wish I would have known you were in the Grand Rapids area! I could have taken you to the best authentic Mexican taco place in Grand Rapids! The beautiful blue bridge across the grand river and more !
Oh man sounds awesome, next time!
@ Grand Haven is also worth the visit and Muskegon as well! So many places to be seen :) Stay safe Josh N’ Pops!!
I'm with Pops. I couldn't watch the ski jump part of the video.
haha fair enough!
Ah yes a nice long video to distract me from the fact that my spine still needs surgery & that I’m chronically ill. A nice distraction. ❤
I hope you get better soon! Thanks for watching the video
Glad Pops didn’t go on the lift! I too get vertigo and have height issues . My sweet family thought I should ride on a lift in West Virginia on a 90 degree july day !!
I started to pass out, and my husband had to hold me in the seat😬
A trail guide rode me 6500 feet zigzagging down the mountain in an old golf cart ! They spotted me from an outlook post and waited for our car so they could get me out and off the mountain. INCREDIBLY embarrassing 😳
Never AGAIN😞😑
Oh wow! Yea vertigo is no joke and yea Pops never even considers it haha
The fact about trolls is totally true!
haha good to know!
so I am now watching the entire video did anyone tell about using your right hand as a map to show where your at in the low part of Michigan?
haha I didn't even think about doing that!
if this video goes well you have to consider going back up north and doing lots off stuff on a snow mobile and on the ice
I'm a troll! 😆 the yooper folks are amazing people! We get treated like Family every we go. Just don't ask where the hot spot to fish is, they wont tell you lol
haha I imagine that would be a guarded secret!
Josh - you should have stopped by Legs Inn - was that on your radar screen?
Never heard of it, I will have to look it up!
🙋♀️ troll here. What the honeymooners said is true. 😉
haha I love it! Thanks for the comment
Very beautiful. A question though the water looks brown though do you know why?
The one waterfall with the root beer looking water is cause of something to do with the plants. Is that what you were referring to?
👍
Nobody who made and sold fudge on Mackinaw Island could tell me what was different about Mackinaw fudge from other fudge. I asked a few different places.
haha that is funny! The history I guess
yup nope... I'm with pop's waiting down on planet earth. That looked sketchy and if it sways in the wind then I'm good😂
haha fair enough!
Did you see any sign of Joe Pera in Marquette?
I did not, I will have to look him up!
Would you say the boat cruise on Lake Superior is motion sickness friendly? I can handle some boats but if they’re super rocky I’m at risk of getting sick. Even with Dramamine. It’s unfortunate
What drone do you use?
I use the Mini 4 Pro
Nice
Sadly, no mountains.
It is pretty flat but the views over the lakes make up for the mountains haha
satans' religions make you human slaves believe that god has wife named mary whom it has never copulated with so she must be virgin mary who gave birth to god's son
have you human slaves witnessed any virgin woman who has became pregnant & gave birth ?
were your great grand mothers virgins when they gave birth to your grand parents ?
were your grand mothers virgins when they gave birth to your parents ?
were your mothers virgins when they gave birth to you human slaves ?
if god truly did not want & need adam & eve to eat from certain tree then why did god create & place such tree around adam & eve if you human slaves truly don't want your children to consume poison then would you leave poison on the dining tables ?
if god truly did not want & need adam & eve to eat from certain tree then why did god create & place such tree around adam & eve why did god create hell called earth where god abandoned adam eve & the ruling satans unless god wanted adam & eve to be abandoned ?
Sorry, Pops channel is boring
An hour and 44 minutes?!? Forget it!
haha sorry I guess??
The state is 16,000 pounds
That hot dog place has not been around since 1916. I grew up in area and it opened in 2016
