This includes the tamer tour as well and that was great in itself. The tour is realsitic. No railings, lights, or painted arrows. You wear a hard hat and you do bonk things with your head. The hard hat has a light and that is the only light. At one point you turn off the lights and the guide lit a candle so you can see what it was like for the early miners. You are not told not to touch anything. You pick your way down the path llike the miners did. You duck twist and turn sideways. You are free to ask quesitons. The adventure part was a forever memory. It was just a blast, also scary and exciting. If I can do this, anyone can. I am 63 just retired after 38 years of office work and not in good shape. I had about 30 pounds more than I should, knee surguries, hip issues, and a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder from a decades old car accident. On the rappelling part, I had a little trouble at first holding the rope properly behind me due to my shoulder issues, but the guides were very patient and helpful and I got it eventually. Not gracefully, but i managed. Crossing the chain bridge was pretty terrifying. I shuffled accross in terror but was thrilled when I got across without falling off. I apoligized to the guid for my slow pace, and he said it was fine - he is paid by the hour. A few decades ago I would have skipped across that bridge like our guide did (but I would not have thrown myself off the bridge and hung upside down over the deep chasm to show that the tether would hold you fine and it is not that hard to get back on the bridge). Fear of heights or at least of falling seems to increase with age. I used to free climb, now walking across a swinging chain brding while securly tethered to a rope and harness nearly froze up and could barely shuffle, but sure felt grand when I was across. Our guide was very knowledgeable and skilled and made us feel safe. He was fun, funna as well as both patient and clever. We really liked him. Very impressive young man. At the end of the tour I asked him what he does in the winter, and he said he is still in high school! Do this. Do the adventure tour if you possibly can. If not, you will regret missing it.

We ate outside on the deck, we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was tasty, and then ordered a chicken bacon ranch pizza which was also very good. The cannoli we took home was alright. Our waitress was a short, cute girl who was overworked, but did a great job! I'm sorry I don't recall her name. We are happy we came across this place!

I mean, what is there to do there in the woods, staying in a real log cabin, with spotty at best wireless coverage and no mall in sight? Well, my sister and I were shocked and pleasantly surprised to find out that staying at The Bear Track Cabins in Ironwood, MI there is A LOT to do and we can not wait to GO BACK! I'm not sure if it was all the scenery, the beauty of nature we experienced, and the many activities that we had never enjoyed before, or if it was the genuineness of Mr. Norm, the proprietor of The Bear Track Cabins, and the way he helped us to see all that the woods, streams, waterfalls, lake and wildlife had to offer my sister, family and me. Let me tell you, the thought of staying in a real log cabin freaked me out ... but the three cabins that Mr. Norm (we started calling him Norm of the North by the second day!) has there and rents, we took the smallest and it served our needs perfectly, are just as genuine, authentic, clean and inviting as Mr. Norm is. Yes! You CAN shower AND go totthat bathroom IN your own cabin!! And we had electricity too for drying our hair ... I think he called this "glorified camping", which for my sister and me - was AWSOME! Campfires at night making s'mores, nature trail hikes during the day, enjoying beautiful scenic views along at least three spectacular waterfalls - two right across the road from The Bear Track, and swimming in Lake Superior and then playing on the beach afterwards - there was SO much to do we were actually very sad when our five day adventure was up. We had heard about these glowing Yuper Rocks on the Internet, and with Mr. Norm's guidance, we went "hunting" for them on one starlit night and successfully found a small baggie full to take home - so remember to bring your black light too! We did take the Adventure Ride up Copper Peak, rode the elevator and then climbed the stairs all the way to the top - this is a MUST DO experience. I think we saw Canada from up there! The downtown of Ironwood was fun to walk around and the shops were so quaint, as were those in Bessemer - either is about 20-30 minutes away. But the crown jewel of our trip was staying AT the Bear Track with Mr. Norm as host. He even surprised us with a north woods treat on our last night knowing that my sister's birthday was the day after we were leaving. So much fun, so friendly, so knowledgeable about the area, and his dog Cinjin was a lovable, cuddly companion and made us not miss our pets back at home as much. We will miss Cinjn, Norm of the North, and The Bear Track, but have told our dad that we DEFINETLY want to put that on our annual To-Do list instead of Great America or other places we have gone that turned out to be a disappointment - The Bear Track was the exact opposite ... and to 14 and 20 year old girls who live for Disney - this is the highest compliment The Bear Track and Mr. Norm can receive!
