U.P. Dream Days

U.P. Dream Days

“This isn’t your typical guidebook and hallelujah to that. This is a book for folks who like back roads and dive bars and out-of-the-way beaches.”

U.P. Dream Days

is an experimental, collaborative guidebook to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Written by Breesa Culver and illustrated by Emily Lanctot and Alissa Beddow, it features interviews, advice, and dream day itineraries from people who know the land well.
