We’d heard a lot about Torch Lake and how it was the Caribbean of Michigan. So we went for a drive to check it out. Honestly we were a little underwhelmed. It was a pretty lake but I didn’t think it was anything really special. But it was a nice day for a drive and that is enough some times.

While the lake was a bit of a let down, Michigan’s second bridge was pretty spectacular. It’s called Skybridge. It’s at a ski area. I love it that ski areas are doing things to make themselves year round destinations. The Skybridge is a 1200 foot suspension bridge. It’s accessed by the world’s oldest sky lift, literally. It ski lift was first built in Idaho in the 1930s and moved the Boyne Mountain in Michigan in 1940. After crossing the bridge there is a food truck with food and cocktails and nice area to sit and enjoy the views. If you’re in Michigan, I think it’s worth a visit.

We’re wrapping up our time in Michigan. We’ve enjoyed our time in Petoskey and the Jellystone Park has been great. We head out to our next destination on Saturday. I’ll give you a couple of hints: We’re looking forward to exploring mines and caves. And Jay wants to pick up some of their famous jelly. 😉 Stay tuned.
