Stunning beauty: Summer road trip through Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Whoa, it sure felt like summer flew by way too fast.

That's pretty much the case every year because there's nothing quite like summer in northern Michigan.

Up North -- that's where we head as Michiganders. We're pretty lucky to live in such an amazingly beautiful state. I've spent some time in the U.P., but I've never really had a chance to just be a tourist and explore.

Recently, I was lucky enough to spend a week experiencing the Upper Peninsula beauty first hand. Waterfalls, canyons, beaches and bears. I was blown away.

What's your favorite place in the Upper Peninsula? I can't wait to get back and experience even more.
