Planning a trip from Minocqua to Houghton this year sometime. Any advice on how many miles, time frame and places to stay in Houghton would be helpful. Also what is the best place to enter MI from WI? I'm thinking ride up on day one and stay over, day two Houghton to Copper Harbor and back to the hotel and day three head home.

Minocqua to Houghton
- Thread starter bhall

Its very close to 170 miles by trail, one way, and depending on your route. I'd also recommend going by way of Land-O-Lakes and Watersmeet. Then, head Northeast towards Kenton and Sidnaw before heading North towards Twin Lakes where you can pick up the Bill Nichols Trail which takes you into Houghton. (That route is about 170 miles). The Ramada Inn in Houghton is very convenient for trail access, although the Holiday Inn is also on the trail. The Ramada books early, as does the Mariner North in Copper Harbor. The alternative in Copper Harbor is the Pines Resort (which is a little "dumpy", but has a great breakfast restaurant).

Holiday Inn Express in Houghton is another great place to stay. No bar however.
… The Ramada Inn in Houghton [?] is very convenient for trail access …
It might be a bit tricky finding the Ramada Inn in Houghton! Better look for it across the bridge in Hancock. Right at the bridge, in fact.
