The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a land apart in more ways than one. By geographical design it should have been a part of Wisconsin, but that’s another story.
While the beauty of the UP is apparent throughout the year, it is during the fall that this land truly comes into its own. I have photographed autumn color in many places, but the Upper Peninsula is easily my favorite. Because the elevation across the entire peninsula doesn’t vary more than about a thousand feet, the color happens almost everywhere, almost simultaneously with a little West-East variation; and when it happens, there’s a riot – of color, that is. Places like Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, the Keweenaw Peninsula, Hiawatha National Forest, and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore become magical kingdoms of rainbow-hued foliage and light, where glacially formed lakes and beautiful streams mirror the land. Waterfalls abound. Ferns and mushrooms carpet a forest of maple and silver birch. The shore of Lake Superior from the Porcupine Mountains in the west to Whitefish Point on the eastern end is nothing if not one miles-long photographic opportunity with beaches variously covered with sand, pebble, and rock. From Brockway Mountain on the Keweenaw Peninsula land, lake, and sky seem to become one. And of course, there are the lighthouses.
