I didn’t see much of Hancock on that first night in town, thanks to the rain, but I tried again a couple of nights later. I’d guess that the best of the fall colors hit the Keweenaw around the second week of October in 2017 - I was about one week early. Looking over towards Hancock, the lake provided a great reflection of the trees, which were finally starting to show some fall colors. No matter what, it’s an excellent place to start a day on the Keweenaw Peninsula. Of course, as the seasons change, the sun will rise in different places, so don’t be surprised if it’s slightly different during your visit. … placing the rising sun directly between its two towers.
I started at Porvoo Park and took the boardwalk over to the Ramada hotel, where a pier provided an amazing viewpoint for the lift bridge… My hotel was just a few blocks away from the Hancock waterfront. … there was barely a cloud in the sky at sunrise. I decided to try again in the morning if the skies cleared. After checking into my hotel, I thought I’d walk around Hancock for a bit, but I ended up drenched and quickly gave up on that idea. Once I figured out that there was just one way across, I sat patiently and waited for traffic to start flowing again. Downtown Houghton turned into a massive traffic jam - and of course, my hotel was in Hancock, on the other side of the bridge. I arrived in Houghton, Michigan at the end of Day Four of my trip, and quickly discovered what happens when the Portage Lake Lift Bridge is raised.
