Copper Harbor
	"The Covered Drive" Address: Keweenaw County The first road designated as a Scenic Heritage Route in Michigan was the 18-mile segment of US-41 from Delaware to Copper Harbor. The trees, some as close as three feet from the pavement, form a complete canopy over most of the entire length of the Heritage Route. A "must-see" on everyone's fall color tour.
	Brockway Mountain Drive Address: M-26 between Eagle Harbor & Copper Harbor, Keweenaw County The 9 1/2 mile seasonal drive is the highest above-sea-level-drive between the Rockies & Alleghenies. Breathtaking views of Lake Superior and thousands of acres of the Keweenaw. Sunsets are free.
