>> Chuck: YOU KNOW THAT MID
WINTER BREAK FOR KIDS IS A FEW
WEEKS OFF AND NOW A GREAT TIME
GETAWAY.
>> Tati: MARQUETTE COUNTY IN THE
UPPER PENINSULA IS A FANTASTIC
PLACE THIS TIME OF YEAR.
WE'RE JOINED BY NICOLE YOUNG
WITH TRAVEL MARQUETTE.
REMIND EVERYONE WHERE MARQUETTE
IS.
HOW LONG WAS THE DRIVE?
>> WE'RE IN THE UPPER PENINSULA
ON THE SHORE OF LAKE SUPERIOR,
THE NORTHERN PART OF THE UPPER
MOUNTAINS.
WE'VE GOT INCREDIBLE SCENERY.
WE'RE ONE OF THOSE PLACES IN
MICHIGAN WHERE WE'RE A LITTLE
BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE
MOUNTAINS AND BECAUSE OF THE
INCREDIBLE LAKE SHORE.
>> Chuck: PEOPLE WILL MENTION
MARQUETTE IS ON THEIR BUCKET
LIST FOR TRAVELING IN THE STATE
OF MICHIGAN.
FOR SOME OF US, WE'VE BEEN
THERE, BUT TELL EVERYBODY WAY TO
ADD IT TO THEIR LIST OF PLACES
TO VISIT.
>> WE HAVE AMAZING ATTRACTIONS
AND RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES
BECAUSE OF THE LAKE, BECAUSE OF
THE MOUNTAINS.
YOU KNOW, WE TALKED THIS PAST
SUMMER ABOUT THE NORTHERN
LIGHTS, THOSE ARE THINGS YOU CAN
SEE AND DO IN MARQUETTE COUNTY
THAT YOU CAPTAIN GET IN THE REST
OF THE STATE.
ONE OF THE REALLY POPULAR THING
GOING ON RIG NOW A BUYING
DESTINATION.
IT'S A HOT TREND.
IT STARTED IN ALASKA AND WE'
MASTERED IT AND HAVE 60 MILES OF
GROOMED FAT BIKE TRAILS.
AND WE'VE GOT CROSS-COUNTRY SKI
TRAILS, THE DOG SLED RACE COMING
FUN.
EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO TO PASS
THE TIME WITH THE SNOW, WE HAVE
IT IN MARQUETTE COUNTY.
>> Tati: AND SPEAKING OF -- IS
THIS A CROSS-COUNTRY TRAIL WHERE
THE WOMAN IS LOOKING UP AT THE
GLORIOUS ICE FORMATIONS?
>> THAT'S AN ICE CAVE.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD
SNOWSHOE TO.
YOU COULD PERHAPS TAKE YOUR
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIS OR YOUR FAT
BIKE.
YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE AMAZING
ICE FORMATIONS.
>> AND VERY BEAUTIFUL!
VERY INTERESTING!
>> Chuck: YOU HAVE A LOT OF
GREAT THINGS AND ACCOLADES,
MARQUETTE HAS BEEN PROFILED.
DESTINATION.
IF YOU'RE A FAMILY, COME TO
MARQUETTE AFFORDABLY.
WE HAVE A BIG VARIETY OF HOTELS,
HIGH END TO MID RANGE TO LOW
END, THAT CAN, YOU KNOW,
ACCOMMODATE YOUR GROUP.
AND ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT
MARQUETTE, TOO, EVERYTHING IS
FREE OR LOW BUDGET.
SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA REALLY BE
MARQUETTE COUNTY.
MOST OF IT IS RENT YOUR FAT
BIKES, RENT YOUR SKIS, AND GET
OUT ON THE TRAILS AND DO STUFF.
VERY AFFORDABLE AND A LOT OF
FUN.
>> Tati: WHAT IS SKI-BOARDING.
>> HOLDING ON TO A HARNESS THING
ATTACHED TO DOGS.
>> Chuck: I'VE DONE THAT!
I'M NOT JOKING.
I WAS HANGING ON TO BOTH HUSKIES
AND THEY TOOK ME ACROSS THE
FROZEN LAKE.

IN ACTION, IT'S A GREAT TIME TO
SEE THAT.

SEE US.
