Related: About this forumWorld's Longest Timber-towered Suspension Bridge Opens in Michigan
Boyne Mountain Resort becomes home to yet another record-breaking attraction as it welcomes SkyBridge Michigan, the worlds largest timber-towered suspension bridge, this fall.
This pedestrian bridge, which was inspired by the Pure Michigan M, stretches 1,200 feet and stands between the peaks of McLouth and Disciples Ridge, approximately 118 feet above the valley floor.
The SkyBridge Michigan experience begins with a chairlift ride to the top of the mountain. From there, guests can take an open-air walk across the bridge for breathtaking views of the foliage and surrounding landscape. They can also brave a 36-foot section at the middle of the bridge that features a glass floor and an unobstructed look at ground below.
With four-season appeal, SkyBridge Michigan is a major attraction for Boyne Mountain Resort, as well as the entire northern Michigan region, Erin Ernst, Boyne Mountain Resorts director of communications said in a press release. The bridge brings an offering thats extremely unique for our area. Its an exciting must-do when planning a trip to northern Michigan, whether for families, couples, or friends.
