Heidi's Haven

I recently spent some time in Michigan's upper peninsula. One of the places I stayed on my trip was Marquette. While there, I decided to do one of my favorite things: hike to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. Sugarloaf Mountain is an easy climb (we even took the "difficult" path) takes you up 1060 feet to amazing views of Lake Superior and the surrounding forests. It only took about 15-20 minutes to climb, the path is well worn and clearly marked, but it's definitely hard to leave those amazing views and come back down again.

September 1st was Labor Day in the United States. Labor Day is usually the day before school starts, so many people like to go outside and enjoy their last day of summer vacation. I spent my Labor Day in Michigan. Each year on Labor Day, you can walk across the Mackinac Bridge, the 5 mile bridge that connects the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan. This year was the 8th time I've done the bridge walk. It felt great to to for a long walk with such a beautiful view! As you can see, a ton of people do this each year! A large portion of the bridge is a grate like this, so you can look at the water as you walk. It's kind-of cool and also kind-of scary!  Lots of people dress up or do fun things for the bridge walk. This is by far the coolest I've seen yet! Here I am at the finish line! Did any of you do anything fun for Labor Day? Until next time! xx Heidi
