Niagara Falls to Michigan's Upper Peninsula
Yes, they are big; and wet! We had a great time exploring Niagara. You can ride an elevator to the bottom of American Falls, don your rain gear, and get very wet. It's kind of cool.
But, crossing the border and viewing the main falls from the Canadian side provides for a much better view. Crossing into Canada is no problem. Returning to the states (even with passports) we were grilled and the children were asked many questions. It was quite a contrast.
From Niagara we headed into the upper peninsula of Michigan. We spent Erik's 9Th birthday on Mackinaw island, and rode around the island on our bikes. The island is one big tourist trap, with very few cars, lots of hotels and restaurants. 
Happy 9Th Birthday Erik!
From Michigan we logged about 2,000 miles to Montana. Our route was via highway 2 which is a wonderful western route to take. Most of this highway is a 2-laner, and much more beautiful than the interstate routes that travel from coast to coast in the US (and I have driven them all).
