I love nothing more than driving up this road to the top. Sunroof open, windows down. Took my younger kids up there and they loved it too! This is one of my favorite places on earth. I love driving up along Superior to Brockway to Copper Harbor. There is nothing like it anywhere. I have been driving up there my... More

We always take our out-of-town visitors for a drive up the Keweenaw Peninsula and over Brockway Drive. Great overview of the surrounding area, and especially Copper Harbor. Very relaxing, and I've gotten some great fall color pictures from the area.

Brockway isn't an enormous mountain, but the drive is fun and the views are gorgeous! Fall is a great time to go up. This is also a hawk hot-spot when migrations are happening.

The views from the top of the drive are incredible...not to be missed. Watch the sunsets, colors in the fall, passing ships, and views of Copper Harbor. Better take a camera!

No mater what time of year this is one of the most beautiful drives you will ever take. I hadn't driven it in years but my husband and I had decided to take one of those vacations with just an area in mind but no real destination, you know the kind were you just stop whenever you feel like it...

Haven for birders, photographers and motorcycle enthusiasts. Great view of Lake Superior to the North and the valley to the South and from a newly built lookout, of Copper Harbor.

The road is a little rough but isn't a problem. I suggest that people use the low gear going down hill and don't ride the brakes. The view from the top is wonderful and we saw 3 freighters in Lake Superior. We were able to see Isle Royale on a previous trip but there were clouds over the lake this... More

This drive is one we have taken countless times, but it has been many years since we've been there. The road itself needs repair - badly. The view, however, is worth the drive. I've heard they will be closing the gift shop at the top, and the telescopes I remember as a child are now gone. Sad.

We traveled the Brockway Mountain Drive on our 2012 Harley full dresser. The views and sights were spectacular. The only drawback we had with the drive was that the road is terrible. It's okay at best for a car but you better bring your best driving skills if you are on a motorcycle. I wouldn't do it again on a... More

Excellent views of Lake Superior and Lake Medora and fall foliage. The road can be a little rough at times but not horrible.
