All Things Horses
A narrated, horse-drawn carriage tour is the iconic Mackinac Island activity. Yet, it’s just one of many equine activities to enjoy in a land that has been car-free forever. You can go horseback riding on a guided or unguided tour, rent a private carriage for an intimate ride, even drive your own horse and buggy! Or you can visit with the horses in the barn and find a new friend. Plus, Mackinac Island is home to two museums showcasing antique carriages.

I have traveled to several places and I like this place better than Charleston SC! I would like to say in my opinion Mackinac Island is the Charleston of the midwest. I want to move here it is spectacular!

We got to spend so much quality time in Michigan this summer. It was great to not only spend time catching up with family but to spend time catching up with our home state.

In my last post about our Mackinac Island visit, I mentioned the Lilac hotel, Shepler's Ferry and the carriage tour. Here are some pics to enjoy.
We took the Mighty Mac departure on Shepler's Ferry. It was a small detour to go under the Mackinac Bridge before heading to Mackinac Island. So beautiful.
I especially loved the carriage tour because I knew walking the island at this point would not be something I could do. Our carriage tour driver was awesome as were the horses. The narrated tours take you through downtown to Surrey Hills, Arch Rock, Fort Mackinac and Grand Hotel.
We did get off the tour early and walked to the Grand Hotel and I did pretty good with my breathing so that worked out nice. I'll have a couple more posts coming including our Grand Hotel experience. It was fabulous.
