Completing the trio of UP's coworking spaces is CWRK Collective in downtown Iron Mountain. Since their opening in 2017, not only have they helped those traveling through the area on business or pleasure, they've helped build a local community of entrepreneurs and freelance professionals. Because with the UP's 8.4 million acres of forests, you can work from the world’s best backyard. https://cwrkcollective.com #coworking #WorkLiveUP #workspace #entrepreneur #coworkinglife

The UP may be remote, but with 6 commercial and 22 private airports, it's far more accessible than you might think. With flight times of an hour to Chicago, Detroit, and Minneapolis, it helps put the 'work' into 'Work Live UP.'https://bit.ly/43TVh8F #WorkLiveUP #UpperPeninsula #EconomicDevelopment

Baraga is home to Michigan's highest peak, plenty of waterfront parks and campgrounds, the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, a thriving industrial base, and no less than 10 waterfalls - that's 9 more than the entire Lower Peninsula! It's a great basecamp for exploring the Porcupine Mountains, and the nearby cities of Houghton and Hanco*ck. A sport fishing destination year round, it's also popular for birdwatchers, and kayaking along the 100 ft. tall Baraga Cliffs. Be sure to make it a stop on your next UP adventure. #WorkLiveUP #UPTravel #PureMichigan
