Every summer we like to spend a little time at St. Ignace, Mackinaw Island, and Mackinaw City. The island is 8 miles around so we like to hike its perimeter. This time our ferry to the island made a special pass directly under the Mackinaw Bridge---very interesting! It was a fairly cool day so it was perfect for hiking. Halfway around the island there is a park with picnic tables, so we always plan to eat lunch at that park. Mackinaw is certainly one of the most beautiful places in this state.
