​Hello Travel Friends! 

Over the years, I have visited this charming, secluded island in the United States and always wanted to return. The vibe is chill, the locals are friendly and with no cars permitted, it's a whole lot of "down time" enjoying the water, the downtown, exploring the natural beauty. Prepared to be impressed. May most recent trip was in May of 2019 to shoot an episode of Beyond Your Backyard.  Have a fantastic trip!

Erik 

Beyond Your Backyard: Mackinac
Season: 3 | Episode: 9

Time to grab the oat bag and saddle up, folks! Erik and the Crew are hopping on a ferry and heading to a place where horses replace automobiles, and time truly slows down. They’ll explore the island’s breathtaking natural beauty, visit the famous Grand Hotel, fish in Lake Huron, stroll downtown enjoying great food and live music and even attempt a little fudge making. ​
