OK.
In lots of places the locals call US-41 by whatever name the road used to be before it became a US Hwy (one stretch is called the Delaware Shortcut, for example) due to modern roads having been laid on top of ancient Indian trails.
Back in the olden days, the road I live on used to be the main trail from the uplands (deer and bear country) to East Grand Traverse Bay (fish and transportation).
About 1/2 way between Eagle Harbor and Copper Harbor is Brockway Mountain. You can drive to the summit which is almost 3/4 mile elevation where you have before you an almost 340° view of Gitchee Gumee (Lake Superior) below. There used to be a shack up there where an old Chippewa lady sold stuff. It was protected as an historical landmark and memorial to the intrepid woman. I don’t know if it’s still there.
