My tentative September UP trip itinerary

Discussion

I’d appreciate any thoughts you have on this itinerary, which would start September 3. I avoid touristy places, but love places of quiet beauty. I’m able to hike 2-3 miles. I wouldn’t be great at kayaking or canoeing (bad shoulder)but I’d pay to go with a guide. I’m an avid birder.

I’Ll be starting in Fond du Lac WI, so I thought I’d go to Egg Harbor for 2 nights. Then:

Gladstone- 1 night

Whitefish point - 2 nights

Skandia - 2 nights

Houghton (or Copper Harbor) - 2 nights

Bayfield - 2 nights

Duluth - 1 night and fly home from

A few of the Airbnb’s I have been looking at have filled already, so I might have to start booking. Price point, I’m probably at a step above budget, and like Airbnb’s because they can be unique, and/or are great to learn about local places.

Thanks for any help!
