Mackinac Island is ready to work with you on rescheduling your visit
Byrum rescheduled hotel stays at the Inn of Mackinac. He rescheduled tours of Fort Mackinac. Instead of going on a horse-drawn carriage tour in the morning, his group will do that one afternoon. And instead of touring Mackinac Island’s historic Grand Hotel before they have lunch there, they’ll tour the hotel after lunch one day. Because the sun sets on Mackinac Island earlier in September than it does in May, evening activities that Byrum has planned for the group will change a little, too. The bike ride all the way around the outer rim of Mackinac Island will get an earlier start, as will an evening hike up to Fort Holmes, the War of 1812 stronghold that sits atop the island’s highest point. Even though the changes are a “major tweak” to Byrum’s six-page itinerary, it’s worth the effort because “it’s a passion of mine to share such a special place” with students and their families. “It’s such a unique pleasant place. I think it’s magical,” he said. “As always, it will be a wonderful place to visit and, this year, to escape.”
