COPPER PEAK ADVENTURE RIDE
Consider the logistics of this three-part trip for just a second: To take full advantage of the Copper Peak Adventure ride, fun-seekers first take a chairlift ride, then an elevator trip, then finally walk up the last several stories.
And what do you get at the top? An incredible view of our piece of the world.
“Once at the top, visitors can enjoy the highest, most awe-inspiring, unobstructed vista in the Midwest, overlooking over 2,500 square miles, three states and even Canada on a clear day. The Copper Peak Adventure Ride is an opportunity not to be missed!,” staff say.
This massive ski-flying hill in the Upper Peninsula is pretty impressive. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and as a Michigan State Historic Site.
Fall color enthusiasts are welcome every day from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. through Oct. 20.
“The Copper Peak Adventure Ride lets visitors rise to the same heights as the athletes who have flown down the hill in years past. After an 800-foot chair lift ride to the crest of the hill, visitors take a thrilling 18-story elevator to the main observation deck. From there, the truly fearless can walk an additional 8 stories to the top starting gate.
