The entire area around Lake Superior is a fantastic place to spend a
vacation.  Because the region is so sparsely populated, though, you really
tend to notice the influx of tourists in the summer.  Early fall (color
season) is a much quieter time.  (Winter is even more so, if you like to
snowmobile or ski).

As a former resident, I might as well put in a few plugs for the Keweenaw
peninsula area of Upper Michigan.  Besides the "usual" scenery (very rugged,
lots of trees and rocks and rivers), this area has a lot of historical
interest as well, being the site of the first real mining boom (copper) in
the country back in the 1840's.  There are also some pretty good fishing
holes and berry patches around to keep your stomach happy while exploring
the back country.
