Our morning begins with the Soo Locks Boat Tour, the largest waterway traffic system on earth. We will ride the boat as it raises 21 feet straight up to the level of Lake Superior and learn about the operation of the locks, it’s history and everything we see along the way. From there we will head to Mackinac Island, which sits in Lake Huron. This is the only place in the United States where motorized transportation is not allowed with the exception of a fire truck. You’ll have some free time to explore and shop before our included dinner at the Pink Pony. (B, D)
