Michigan's Upper Peninsula will make a believer out of any jaded traveler

The Upper Peninsula is part of the state of Michigan only on a map. Geographically it's more like Wisconsin. Culturally, it's a place all its own. Bordering three of the Great Lakes (Huron, Michigan and Superior), the U.P. offers world-class fishing and boating and has long been a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. "Yoopers," as the locals call themselves, take their golf seriously, and with three new courses opened in recent years, now is a great time to explore one of the country's last wild places. Summer temps are mild, and most of the U.P. stays on Eastern Standard Time, so you can play until 10 p.m., time enough to fish, boat and golf all in the same day.
