At just 12 years old, Elisabeth Beaverson, the daughter of Kristy and Sam Beaverson, is proving that determination, passion and grit are not bound by age.

We are fortunate to live in an area of breathtaking natural beauty, with Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore right in our backyard. While many visitors focus on the iconic cliffs, colored rocks and waterfalls, one of the most spectacular winter landscapes is often overlooked: the ice formations along Sand Point Road.

With all the exciting events happening across the Upper Peninsula this month, we hope they’ve inspired locals to get outside and embrace winter. Michigan Ice Fest brought nearly 1,000 participants to Munising to experience the breathtaking ice formations that define our winter landscape.

Winter is in full swing in Alger County, and it’s safe to say Mother Nature has chosen Munising as the ultimate destination for all things winter. While we’re thrilled to see the trails bustling with enthusiastic skiers, snowshoers and snow bikers, we’re also mindful of how much the local economy relies on that perfect snow.
