Fall Color Update – October 17, 2025

Fall color may be a little PAST PEAK along the interior routes in the Western U.P., however, you should be able to find plenty of peak color in the Western U.P. closer to the shores of Lake Superior. Copper Peak Ski Jump and Adventure Ride near Ironwood is open through Sunday October 19, 2025. Enjoy a chairlift ride and elevator ride and then a walk up the stairs to the top of the Copper Peak Ski Jump for a stunning vista of the brilliant color in the old-growth forest of the Western U.P.
