Mackinac Island Cross Country Skiing

Mackinac Island Cross Country Trails

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.

Another fun visit would be closer up north, at Mackinac. A Christmas visit to Mackinac Island is like stepping into a Victorian-era holiday card. The island, free of traffic, provides horse-drawn carriage rides, modest boutiques, and the historic Grand Hotel, which is dressed for the holidays! ⛄

Missing Michigan now 🥹

Michigan’s UP is full of natural wonders and historical sites. Throughout its woodlands and along its shores are a multitude of hidden gems, ranging from waterfalls and hiking trails to old forts and shipwrecks.

I was very lucky to live only about an hour and a half from the UP growing up. Rather than going on vacations to places like Disney, my parents always took us north, so I was able to experience a lot of what the peninsula has to offer. 

Have you been to 'da UP'?

The Relentless Pursuit of Something Truly Evil

Wayne Stotter is a normal man living a normal life. After years of hard work as an employee of the city of Grentwich, his promotion to Chief Financial Officer served as a professional zenith of sorts, and provided himself, his wife and their son, Jordan, with a life of peace and comfort.

That is, until the day that a tragic event severs the life he enjoys with his family and sends him into a paranoia-filled spiral. As Wayne struggles to make sense of the chaos closing in around him, he finds himself slipping farther and farther away from reality. It will take everything within him to keep himself alive and save the lives of those close to him.

The Relentless Pursuit of Something Truly Evil is a tale within The Grime of Grentwich series, but it can be read as a standalone book.

Available on Amazon and free with KU: https://a.co/d/gCLX70o

It’s Episode 7 of Bali vs Mackinac!! 

Coming to you from the Los Angeles Airport on my recent trip over to Bali! 

Getting to Bali is no joke, there are multiple flights that can total more than 24 hours in the air. And when you touch down, you gotta weave through car and scooter traffic that can take another couple hours 😅

Similarly, getting to Mackinac Island can be complex - you’ve gotta fly into the tiny Pellston airport, drive to the harbor, take a ferry, touch down on the island and then you’ve gotta walk, go by horse drawn carriage or bicycle! 😂

But all is SO WORTH IT! Both islands take you back in time, and allow you to slow down into the rhythm of the local culture. 🖤🖤
