I'm
planning a trip to the USA in 2024 or 2025 with another family,
including kids. We want to explore some amazing places that truly
represent the essence of the country. But, you know, being from a
different country, all we see on TV is the crime and safety concerns in
some areas—robberies, drug use, and all that. We definitely want to
avoid that. Any suggestions for safe and beautiful places to experience
the real charm of the USA?
我计划在2024年或2025年与另一个家庭（包括孩子）一起去美国旅行。我们想探索一些真正代表这个国家精髓的令人惊叹的地方。但是，你知道，来自不同的国家，我们在电视上看到的只是美国一些地区的犯罪和安全问题——抢劫、吸毒等等。我们绝对希望避免这种情况。有什么建议可以去安全美丽的地方体验美国的真正魅力吗？
Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. All of it.
苏必利尔湖和密歇根湖。所有这些。
Highlights
include Lake Superior's North Shore, Bayfield peninsula and Apostle
Islands, Wisconsin's Door County, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Mackinac
Island and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Not to mention the many great charming
lake towns along the shores.
Fly
into Chicago, drive along Lake Michigan's eastern shore to Sleeping
Bear. Spend at least a day at the dunes. Then head to the Mighty Mac
(along M-22 for a longer scenic drive), visiting towns like Traverse
City, Petoskey and Charlevoix along the way. Stay in St. Ignace and
spend a day on Mackinac Island. Explore the Upper Peninsula as much as
you want. Have a pasty or two.
Head
down to Wisconsin and loop around the bay to Door County, visiting its
charming towns. Attend a Fish Boil. Backtrack a bit, head over to
Bayfield and spend some time exploring the Apostle Islands.
Drive
along the South Shore of Lake Superior to Duluth, Minnesota, which has
shopping, great outdoor activities and a growing food/beverage scene.
Then drive along the North Shore all the way up to the Canadian border.
Be sure to visit the many fantastic Minnesota State Parks along the way
(outstanding hiking), as well as the town of Grand Marais and the Grand
Portage National Monument. If you're adventurous you could hike the
Grand Portage itself. The Superior Hiking Trail all along the North
Shore has incredible hikes. There's also the Gitchi-Gami state trail if
you're into biking.
If you're really
adventurous you could do a camping side trip in the BWCAW to see some
of the most pristine land in the Lower 48 -- only foot traffic and
canoes allowed. There are outfitters that can provide you with
everything you need. Driving the Gunflint Trail can give you a sense of
the terrain without going full 18th century European Fur Trader.
Finally
head south and visit Minnesota's Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St.
Paul, where you can fly out to most anywhere else in the country or
internationally.
This whole (part
of a) trip can take anywhere from a week to several weeks, depending on
how much you want to see. There are resorts and hotels all along the
route.
亮点包括苏必利尔湖北岸、Bayfield半岛和Apostle群岛、威斯康星州的Door县、密歇根州的Upper peninsula、Mackinac岛和睡熊沙丘。更不用说沿岸有许多迷人的湖城了。
飞到芝加哥，沿着密歇根湖的东岸开车去睡熊。至少在沙丘上呆一天。然后前往Mighty Mac（沿着M-22进行更长的风景车程），沿途参观特拉弗斯城、佩托斯基和沙勒沃瓦等城镇。住在圣伊格纳斯，在麦基诺岛度过一天。尽情探索上半岛。吃一两块馅饼。
前往威斯康星州，绕过海湾到达Door County，参观其迷人的城镇。参加煮鱼活动。返回一点，前往贝菲尔德，花一些时间探索使徒群岛。
沿着苏必利尔湖南岸开车前往明尼苏达州的德卢斯，那里有购物、很棒的户外活动和食品/饮料场景。然后沿着北岸一直开到加拿大边境。沿途一定要参观许多美妙的明尼苏达州立公园（出色的徒步旅行），以及大马莱镇和大波蒂奇国家纪念碑。如果你有冒险精神，你可以徒步旅行Grand Portage本身。沿着北岸的Superior徒步小径有令人难以置信的徒步旅行。如果你喜欢骑自行车，这里还有吉奇加米州的步道。
如果你真的很冒险，你可以在BWCAW露营，看看下48区一些最原始的土地——只允许步行和划独木舟。有一些舾装商可以为您提供所需的一切。驾驶燧石小径可以让你对地形有一种感觉，而不必完全像18世纪的欧洲毛皮商人。
最后南下，参观明尼苏达州的明尼阿波利斯和圣保罗双城，在那里你可以飞往美国或国际上的大多数其他地方。
整个（部分）旅行可能需要一周到几周的时间，这取决于你想看多少。沿途都有度假村和酒店。
