Mountain Biking in the Keweenaw

It's a field day for mountain bikers in the Keweenaw -- from marked trails to hilltop vistas, you have many, many options. Here are some examples.

• Take a ride up Brockway Mountain for vistas of Copper Harbor and Lake Superior.

• Park at the northern terminus of US-41 and bike to the tip of the peninsula.

• Check out the technical single track at places like Michigan Tech (Houghton), Swedetown (Calumet) and Churning Rapids (Hancock).
