Baraga, Michigan: Who Knew the Beauty that Lives in the UP?

I travel for work and get to go to many exciting cities.  On the other hand, I often find myself in towns I did not even know existed let alone would I have had them on my LIFE list (no bucket list here).  Every once in  a while, actually more often than not, these cities surprise me with great views, scenic pictures and amazing charm.  I am loving the process of learning about America and all of the hidden gems.

This post is in relation to my trip to Baraga, Michigan home to the Ojibwa Casino.  I had never heard of this nor did I know this small area housed the first Indian Gaming casino in America.  I was a little worried about this trip until I started exploring.  Included in this posts are pictures from this amazingly scenic area and some other areas nearby.

Little did I know when I went to the airport to head to Ojibwa in Baraga, Michigan that there would be so many beautiful areas!  Nor had I realized that there was something called the UP - Upper Peninsula.  Apparently in Michigan the UP houses the U-pers, while south Michigan houses the "trolls" for being under the big bridge.
