Top of the Mighty Mackinac Bridge for Two

The most dramatic view in Michigan – more dramatic than Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pictured Rocks or the Detroit skyline – is the view from the top of the Mackinac Bridge. From that aerial vantage point, high above the Straits of Mackinac, you can see the Upper Peninsula, the Lower Peninsula, the green cables of the iconic suspension bridge stretching out to connect the two landmasses, Mackinac Island with its historic fort, and several other islands, all in one sweeping, 360-degree view.

Wear a custom designed tee-shirt to commemorate your ascent on the Mighty Mackinac Bridge.
