ADVENTURE
Elk, Gourmet Dinner and
Wine Tasting Experience....
Just a short drive from Alpena you
will stumble upon an adventure so
unique you’ll want to make sure you
don’t forget your camera. Thunder Bay
Resort in nearby Hillman is home to
Michigan’s only elk viewing carriage ride
and gourmet dinner with wine tasting.
The experience is one-of-a-kind and has
been voted a USA Today “10 Best” and
Fox News Online “Top 10 Sleigh Rides
in North America”. There is nothing else
like it east of the Rocky Mountains. Step
back in time to life on the frontier in the
mid-1800’s. The outing is literally over
the river and through the woods carried
on carriages or sleighs drawn by
massive draft horses, to see elk in the
resort’s 160-acre Elk Preserve.
While you say hello to the elk,
Grandma Jan’s son, Spencer, is at the
Elk Antler Cabin busily preparing a fivecourse
gourmet feast on 100-year-old
wood cook stoves. Furnished in period
antiques and trophy mounts, the cabin
is the perfect backdrop for dinner and
a sampling of wines from nearby wineries
in Alpena. It’s a perfect venue
for storytelling and
learning about these
magnificent animals.
This must-do activity
is available from mid-
May through March.
