Looking for some really incredible views on your Northern Michigan fall color tour? Head to these ski resorts. While you might overlook the views and fun that chairlifts provide during ski season, autumn is a whole different story. Fall color chairlift rides offer some of the most secluded and breathtaking vistas of Michigan’s vibrant foliage.
Copper Peak // Ironwood
The Copper Peak adventure ride allows guests to experience the same heights as athletes who have flown down the hills in years past. As if the 810-foot chairlift ride didn’t provide enough of a stunning view, visitors are then invited to take an elevator 18 stories up for the highest unobstructed 360-degree vista in the Midwest. From there, experience a breathtaking view overlooking 2,500 square miles, which include the stunning fall colors along Lake Superior, three states and even Canada on a clear day.
$20 per adult, $8 per student (under 14), children 5 and under are free. Daily through mid-October, 10 a.m.–4:30 p.m. More details here.
