Hotel last minute deals – Sparking and stunning natural beauty in Upper Peninsula

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 21, 2011 -- Last minute hotels : On the eastern end of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, you will find a wonderland of unspoiled natural beauty, charming small town life, world renowned landmarks and over a thousand years of Native American history. When it’s time to refresh your sense of wonder, it’s time to explore the heart of the great inland sea. Summer is the busiest season in Upper Peninsula, with so much to pack into our long days. But need not worry, with all our activities and room to roam, it is never that busy or crowded.

Wooden boats cruise our coastal waters, as do sailboats and kayaks. Hire a guide for a day gazing at cliffs and spectacular colors at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Better yet, take a week and set sail for Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior. Discover moose and wolves and an endless array of lichen-encrusted rocky harbors at America’s least busy national park. Wave hello and goodbye to freighters as they pass through the locks at Sault Ste. Marie bound for distant lands, carrying food and freight from our heartland. See them again as they take on a load of iron ore at Marquette, or consider their history and perilous paths at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point.

Visit the more than 40 lighthouses that helped guide ships from the earliest days of our settlements. You can even stay in a few that are private bed and breakfasts, or soak up Great Lakes history in the ones that are now museums preserving our past. Scour the many public beaches for semi-precious agates, or find a funny face in a piece of driftwood worn smooth by its tumbling journey. Venture to Mackinac Island to discover a land lost in time. Rent a bike and pedal the island’s circumference, then treat yourself to homemade fudge and a quiet night at a posh bed and breakfast.

When the heat is at its height, drop by our sandy beaches and cool yourself with a dip in our pure and refreshing lakes. Plunge under a waterfall for a reviving natural shower. Another way to beat the heat is to journey underground on one of our historic mine tours. Imagine the life of a copper or iron miner as you delve into the cool dark of the earth’s inner sanctum.

The links are in their prime now, so drive fairway after fairway touring courses from our rugged highlands to a quiet streamside green. Shop our unique downtowns for locally crafted art and food. Stop in a museum to wonder at the proud history of our people and changing landscape. Pull off the road on a whim, kick off your shoes and take a run down a Lake Michigan sand beach. Climb the low dunes and rest your back against a singing red pine. Watch as the wind etches its portrait in the sand through the bobbing of dune grass. Hear nothing but the sigh of nature welcoming your home for the summer.
