After driving up to the Straits of Mackinac, the water that separates Lake Michigan from Lake Huron and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from the Lower Peninsula, and after taking photos of the bridge from a park at the south end of the bridge, we crossed the bridge to the city of St. Ignace on the Upper Peninsula and after our evening meal went back to the bridge for more photos. These were all taken from St. Ignace, except the last which was taken out of the window as we crossed the bridge. The insets are of: 1) Mackinac Bridge at sunset. 2) the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island from St. Ignace. 3) sunset from Mackinac Bridge.

This was Mackinac Bridge at sunset from St. Ignace on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We stopped for photos before and after getting our evening meal.

Not from from Mackinac Bridge (a bit to the east) is Mackinac Island, a popular tourist destination. This is a photo of the island taken from the city of St. Ignace on the Upper Peninsula. The lighted building is the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.

This was the sunset from Mackinac Bridge as we crossed it from Mackinaw City to St. Ignace. It was the only photo I managed to get from the bridge and that because I wasn't driving.
