Michigan Moment: Copper Peak Color

Submitted by on September 24, 2011 – 12:00 amNo Comment

Ironwood, Michigan


The Copper Peak International Ski Flying Hill provides a unique vantage for viewing autumn colors, as captured by photographer Steven Huyser-Honig.

Copper Peak is located in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan near the Wisconsin border. From the observation decks atop the giant ski jump one can see 40 miles or more in every direction – overlooking the west Lake Superior shoreline and the colorful mixed conifer – hardwoods of the Ottawa National Lakeshore, the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State park (the Midwest’s largest , containing huge tracts of virgin timber), the Gogebic-Penokee Hills (site of iron ore discovery which led to the development of local communities of Wakefield, Bessemer, Ironwood, MI and Hurley, WI). Other points of interest include the Big Snow Country downhill ski areas and dozens of scenic and historic sites which highlight the rich copper and iron – mining heritage of the area.
