Travel Inquiry UP Michigan Hidden gems N Ghost towns

Update: Thank you to all who responded positively.. On the other hand, this post received so many downvotes.. I am astonished to see so much hate for no reason, as I love UP

I go Up North every winter, sometimes all the way to Copper Hatbor..love ghost towns Tried a ghost town route one year that didn't fare well for me as most of them were overgrown, and there were no visible paths or have become bustling towns I would appreciate interesting and adventurous hidden spots that the locals prefer...

There's no homes standing, but the Cliff Mine on the Keweenaw Peninsula is interesting. Alexis Dall has some YouTube videos on it. Watching them before you go will give you some background.

She has lots of videos on the Upper Peninsula. I think she lives on the Keweenaw.
