Mackinac Island Cross Country Skiing
The Mackinac Island Ski club grooms trails on the east and north side of the Island in Mackinac Island State Park.
The cross country ski trails wind through the pristine woods of Mackinac Island State Park and allow the winter visitor to see all of the natural and historical landmarks of the island.
You can follow the ski trails to the interior of the island and take in the vistas from the highest point on the island at Fort Holmes. Or ski through the woods to Arch Rock and enjoy the view of Lake Huron from the bluffs on the eastern side of the island.

Wait…those are CLAY?!
Yes. Every bow. Every tiny lilac. Every teeny-tiny petal. All shaped by hand.
I may have gotten a little carried away with these… but when you live on Mackinac Island and lilacs are basically part of your personality, putting miniature lilacs on bows feels completely reasonable. 😂
Choose a soft white bow covered in shades of purple lilacs
Or a lavender bow blooming with purple + white flowers
Each pair is handmade one tiny detail at a time right here on Mackinac Island—and I think these might be some of my favorite pieces I've made lately.
Now I need to know: WHITE or PURPLE? 👇 Tell me which pair you'd choose!
And if you know someone who would absolutely lose their mind over lilacs + bows, send this to them. 💜🎀

So many people visit Mackinac Island just for the day, but the true magic is staying on the island overnight. The calm before and after the chaos of the day trippers is truly amazing. Would you stay here overnight?! #travelgram #mackinacisland #magic #travel #puremichigan
We had the perfect vacation to celebrate the end of summer and the Griffith’s upcoming 50th wedding anniversary.
With perfect end of season weather and a splash of morning rain on the third day it was a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
Anderson had a blast making core memories like riding the horse carriage, throwing rocks, chasing birds and generally just doing whatever he wanted the whole time.
Looking forward to many more amazing family vacations with these beautiful people.

Why Mission Point? For starters, it’s right on the waterfront.
It also gives you a place to gather, celebrate, slow down, and actually spend time with your people.
There are so many ways to use the property and so many ways to make the day flow without feeling like you are constantly leaving your wedding to take photos.
If you’re thinking about a Mission Point wedding, let’s talk!

Mackinac Island has got to be the MOST popular of all the Michigan Islands with about 1.2 million visitors a year!!! 🤯
And rightfully so with its long military history to discover, a never ending supply of delicious fudge, and its incredibly clear water to dip your toes in while you take a break from bicycling around the 8.2 mile loop!
No cars or E bikes allowed here, (unless you work on the island or are disabled -
E bikes for those instances must be approved)
What’s your favorite thing about the island?!

Michigan photo dump part 2! A little backstory: One of our Mom’s most favorite movies is Somewhere in Time, staring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, and she has always wanted to visit the island it was filmed on, Mackinac Island in Michigan. She admitted she’d never dreamed she’d ever visit the place, but there we were. All thanks to my amazingly thoughtful sister jillavidal for thinking of taking our mom here to celebrate her milestone 80th birthday. We all had the time of our lives making new memories, seeing and experiencing new things, eating new food (discovered Joanne’s fudge, my new fave), and connecting in a way we haven’t in much too long. My heart is full and I will cherish this trip always. Happy 80th birthday Mom, and many more!!! I love you both SO much grace_kono14 and jillavidal !!!
