Mackinac Bridge, Saint Ignace

This was such an exciting adventure for us! We were so excited to cross the bridge! I thought it would be scary to cross, but it actually didn’t bother me at all. The fare for crossing one way in a regular car is $4. I think that helps them maintain the bridge very well! We crossed 4 times while on vacation. One night time crossing came with seagulls swooping in and onto the bridge! It was very weird to see this occurring. We had to honk our horn to get them to move! Such a great experience getting to do this! The views from the bridge during the day were breathtaking!! Absolutely gorgeous!! If you’re going up this direction while in Michigan, be sure to make a point to take a trip across the Mighty Mac…you will not be disappointed!!!!

Such an interesting experience to walk the Mackinac Bridge on Labor Day. What a great tradition for such a spectacular location. Thankfully 2022 had beautiful weather for the walk. I found walking the bridge far preferable to driving, since the existing bridge can be a bit scary at highway speeds. Suffice it to say, I was not walking at highway speeds. The crowds were very diverse in age & ability. The police and other volunteers provided friendly reminders to keep the center lanes of the bridge clear.
