The trails are in great condition, the days are longer, and the powder is building up again. This past weekend the trails were the busiest of the season, but there is still plenty of room for you and your buddies. Although there is no gas in Silver City, and White Pine Mobil plans to close, good news the Konteka restaurant in White Pine is going to have a 24/7 pump available in about 2 weeks or less. If you like to ride in loops and buzz around in the powder, this will be a very welcome addition when making a loop to the Porkies out of Wakefield. Ride hard and maybe we'll see you on the trail.
Me STUCK!

Having traveling a total of 269.8 miles today, I have to say that the condtions are perfect. Started in Wakefield at 9 am. today, traveled to Silver City, Ontonagon, Greenland, Twin Lakes for lunch and back through Rockland, Bergland and home to Wakefield, arriving at 4:30 p.m. . Trails were all excellent and the traffic was light. Took an hour break, then went off trail riding to Little Girls Point and back home in Wakefield at 8:30 pm. I keep forgetting my camera, but the scenery has been outstainding and I will be posting some of our adventures soon.

Trail 11N has been groomed. Be careful as some of the signs are not up. With the cold days we've had the trail should be in good shape after Thursday. This too, is one of my favorite trails scenic, fast, and not boring. I'll be out this Friday with the warmer weather. Predictions of snow each day for a total of 12 inches the next 4 days. Get a good ride in before Xmas -I will.

Hello,
Welcome to Western U.P. Vacation. I would like to thank you for visiting our site. Feel free to look around. All though right now the site lacks content, I am working rigorously to get the site populated with Business directory listings, pictures, videos, area reports (ski hills, XC skiing, and snowmobile trails for now), a forum that you can comment on your trip to the U.P. or possible make some suggestion on how the people and businesses of the Western U.P. could make it a more enjoyable vacation, and blogs from some locals that get out and enjoy the Western U.P. of Michigan.
So for now here is what is going on outside, IT'S SNOWING. Things are looking good for an early start to the winter season.
Indianhead is set to open on Nov. 28th. For the first few weeks they will only be open certain day. Check there site for detail www.indianheadmtn.com.
