's most beautiful, historic, and natural locations I've spent many years exploring the wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula (U.

), and one thing has become apparent: no matter what part in which you find yourself, fascinating sights are around every corner.

There are parks, wilderness areas and museums.

There are ghost towns and places named after legends.

There are trails to be walked and waterways to be paddled.

In the U.

, life is meant to be lived to the fullest.

In this book, I've listed 40 destinations from every corner of the U.

that have places of interest.

Some reflect rich history, while others highlight the natural wonders that abound.

So, join in the adventures.

The Upper Peninsula is an open book--the one that's in your hand.

Without a doubt, Mikel Classen's Points North needs to be in every library, gift shop and quality bookstore throughout the country--particularly those located in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.

Not only does Classen bring alive the U.

through his polished words, his masterful use of color photography also makes this book absolutely beautiful.

Points North will long stand as a tremendous tribute to one of the most remarkable parts of our country.
