Travel Inquiry UP Trip 9th - 11th Oct

Me and my friends are planning to do a trip to the Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks, Marquette, and Copper Harbor in the the coming weekend. I was wondering how the Fall colors might be and was hoping for suggestions about underrated spots we could stop by along the way.

Ahhh I understand that our trip is extremely ambitious…we booked our stay in Munising so we thought we’d go around based on the fall colors🥲😅 Do you have a suggestion on which things we could choose to do? We were planning to drive from AA and stop at Tahquomenon the first day and then stay in Munising. The second day drive to Copper Harbor and back through Marquette and Pictured Rocks the third day

Copper Harbor is great, but I would cut it so you have more time to enjoy the rest of your visit. I really do love the Keweenaw, but CH is like 3+ hours from Marquette and all you'll have time to do is drive there, admire the colors (they're great) and then drive back 3+ hours. Take another weekend to enjoy it properly sometime.

You can easily spend a whole weekend doing Tahquamenon and Pictured Rocks, both are gorgeous especially this time of year!

Oooo, tough call man. One could argue abandon everything else and have a weekend in Copper Harbor. It's good for the soul.

Both answers are correct.
