Cosa portare
Extra clothes
For any adventure in the UP, bring extra layers for when the weather changes abruptly, or the sun sets and you’re just not ready to leave the scene. You’ll almost always find water, and someone will get wet, so extra shoes and bathing suits are always recommended. Cell service can be spotty, so maps and extra snacks/beverages are always a smart thing, too.
