Here's Love Exploring's praise for Munising:

With ice caves, frozen waterfalls and piles of fluffy snow, Munising looks like a storybook setting in winter. Michigan Ice Fest is held here every February, centered around Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, where you can watch professional ice-climbers. If you’ve ever fancied trying snowmobiling, this is the place as it’s considered to be 'the snowmobile capital of the Midwest'. After a day of exploring, try a local delicacy such as Lake Superior whitefish or a hearty traditional pasty.
