COPPER PEAK

A ski-flying hill located an hour up the road in Ironwood, Michigan, this National Historic Site offers stunning views of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Lake Superior. "After an 800-foot chair lift ride to the crest of the hill -- a 360-foot copper-bearing volcanic outcrop -- visitors take a thrilling 18-story elevator to the main observation deck. From there, the truly fearless can walk an additional 8 stories to the top starting gate." This will bring memories to last a lifetime.
