The snowfall in the Keweenaw Peninsula is awesome and usually provides for great snowmobiling. The trail runs through Mohawk, and is accessible from our home.

We like to hike this hill in the off seasons. You can park at the top or bottom of the hill and follow the ski runs to hike it. I think we clocked it at about 1 mile but it’s definitely worth the view and the exercise.
