No cars allowed! Bikes, horses and fudge only! The things to do on Mackinac Island are endless. Take a ferry under the Mackinac Bridge, or bike around M-185, the only U.S. Highway without cars. Check out amazing viewpoints like Arch Rock or visit Fort Mackinac. It's all here in our travel guide to this wonderful summer destination.
This video is part of our epic road trip to all 5 US Great Lakes (Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior & Michigan) where we visited Niagara Falls in New York, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pictured Rocks and Apostle Islands National Lakeshores, Mackinac Island, the Porcupine Mountains ("Porkies" as they say in da UP), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio, the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, the Lakeshore bike trail in Chicago, Frankenmuth the year-round Christmas city - are you tired yet? Oh and we ate a lot of pasties and fudge. Like a lot of fudge. So much fudge that we actually take no offense to the Yoopers and Trolls calling us Fudgies. We've been called much worse. Stay tuned for a ton of videos showing our adventures like dune climbing, kayaking, hiking or biking, that we will continue to link below as they are released. The United States of America is a huge place and this is just one small portion of it.

That bridge looks so amazing and to hear that’s the 3rd longest suspension bridge is great. The beautiful town just looks like they come out of fairyland movie. No cars allowed that’s cool 😎 best way to explore this huge island is of course by biking. The stairs leading to arch rock is very steep, but the view is totally worth it. Did you say it was used to be a national park? That’s weird. Cannonball is a nice place to have a lunch at the middle of Forest.. definitely worth visiting this island for the beautiful nature. Another phenomenal video.

Noticed some additions to the Island since I lived there in ‘73, ‘75, honeymooned in ‘77, visited in ‘91 and in a couple of other years in the past 20 years. Met my husband there in 1975 through Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship!

Mackinac Bridge is three miles longer than the Golden Gate (!) but the suspension span is shorter by 400 feet compared to the Golden Gate.
@MagellanandGreyhound
@MagellanandGreyhound Месяц назад
Yeah we were trying to word it the right way. It’s fascinating how they measure bridges, by their main span, and not total length. Mackinac is amazing and impressive though, and I was definitely shook by the wind.

This is awesome! Do the bike rental places provide bike locks for when you leave your bike behinds while walking a trail, or do you suggest bringing one?
@MagellanandGreyhound
@MagellanandGreyhound Год назад
Good question. I’m not sure. I can tell you this, we saw no locks ever. Everyone left their bikes out and went wherever unattended, including us. I think the bikes are numbered so there’s really no reason to steal them when you’re on an island haha. We never gave it a thought.

Just a day. I think we took the first ferry in the morning and one of the last back. Other than passing the hotel on our bikes, I can’t say we know much about it other than it looks cool 😊. Hope you have as much fun as we did! It’s a great place and I do wish we would’ve spent at least one night, but it was a last minute decision to go.

@MagellanandGreyhound Год назад
@@campinwiththeconfers that’s a tough call. I think if we hadn’t brought Zeus we would have still gone, but likely cut out earlier. Dog bladders aren’t that different from human ones. The island is very dog friendly. I don’t know if they had bigger dog carriers, but you could ask. They do have carriage tours where we saw bigger dogs riding along. :)
