The Upper Peninsula Overland is an organized trip led every August in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is a 4wd vehicle based trip that takes attendees across some of the more remote and scenic portions of this region. The intent of the trip is to visit and experience the unique natural and historical sites in the UP in a responsible and ethical manner. The broader scope of the group is to help share some of the trreasures of the UP via written accounts, photography, and word of mouth in order to engage the general public more as to the current state of the region, education of its rich history, and threats it is facing in many facets. It is our hope that by seeing and experiencing some of the things the area has to offer, people will become more invested in becoming stewards to the region's natural and wild public lands. The Lake Superior Region truly is a unique place on a global sense, hopefully as these trips and events continue to grow, we can utilize the resources for both educational conservational purposes.
