The Upper Peninsula is one of the best places for stargazing and catching a glimpse of the northern lights. For students at Michigan Tech, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience these night-sky wonders. Brockway Mountain offers expansive views over Lake Superior, while Breakers Beach provides a calm shoreline for stargazing. Keweenaw Coffee Works makes a cozy stargazing spot with warm drinks nearby.
For a quieter experience, rural side roads away from light pollution offer uninterrupted views of the stars and auroras, making each night feel uniquely magical.
Whether at a scenic overlook or a hidden backroad, stargazing in the UP.P. offers a chance to see the sky in a way that many may not have again.
