Night Sky/Northern Lights Photography Workshop
Saturday, December 4 - 7:30 pm - 9:30pm
The purpose of this workshop is to educate people on how to capture the beauty of the northern lights and the night sky on camera. Topics being covered include equipment needed, camera settings, and the best locations for viewing. This workshop will start out with a brief powerpoint presentation (in the conference room), and then we will go outside for hands-on experience — taking pictures of the night time sky (hopefully northern lights) around the Lodge property - weather depending.

Stargazing on the Keweenaw is a year round activity. The lack of light pollution allows for clear views of the Milky Way, the moon and many of the planets in our solar system. The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge offers the free use of a telescope through our stargazer program. If you are staying at the Lodge you can check out a telescope for no additional charge. Just stop in the OAC or call (906) 289-4403 to reserve.

As the snow starts to fly autumn will soon be a distant memory. In a recent blog post on our website we look back to the Fall Color Photo Workshop that took place October 8-10. Here is an excerpt from the blog post:
“Bad weather makes good photography,” is one of Ansel Adam’s more memorable quotes and one of the guidelines that we followed for the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge’s first annual Fall Color Photo Workshop.
The idea for the workshop came together in September after the August Night Sky Photography workshop. The vision was for a team of photographers associated with the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge (KML) to put together a multi day photography workshop centered around the color season in late September – early October — a time of year that the Keweenaw is well-known to exhibit its beauty.”

The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge wants to congratulate all the participants in last weekend’s Keweenaw Cup. This multi day event brought cyclocross racing to @copperharbormi . Saturday was a gorgeous day which had racers navigating a fun, relatively-flat loop at the Trails End Campground. The weather was sunny and people lined the course cheering the hardy cyclists on. That night the Mountain Lodge hosted a Mexican dinner with music by @bobhiltunen .
On Sunday the racers challenged themselves on a hilly course highlighting the diversity of the Mountain Lodge’s property. Racers looped around the golf course on cart paths, they climbed through the woods on ski trails and descended down a service road. The spirit of Halloween was in the air as costume clad participants rode through the haunted house (aka the cart barn) which had a smoke machine and scary music blasting from speakers. At the end of day everyone competed in the first cyclocross biathlon that had participants riding a loop and then having to throw a @flinggolf at a handmade target. If racers missed the target the group had them do jumping jacks or push-ups as a penalty- all in the name of being: fun, joyous and adventuresome.
Thank you to @upcross906 , event organizers (@cyclocarbon_drew and his team) and sponsors for creating this fun filled weekend. We are already looking forward to see how this event can continue to grow in the years to come.
