Scenic Chairlift Rides now available on Thursdays!

Mont Ripley Scenic Rides offer a relaxing chairlift journey with breathtaking views of the Michigan Tech campus, the Portage Waterway, and the surrounding Keweenaw landscape. Ride the historic Husky Chair to the summit of Mont Ripley, where you can step off to explore the top of the hill, take photos, and enjoy the fresh Upper Peninsula air.

When you’re ready, simply reload the chairlift at your leisure for an exciting ride back down the mountain, featuring even more spectacular scenery along the way. Whether you’re visiting for the views, the experience, or the perfect photo opportunity, Mont Ripley Scenic Rides provide a unique perspective on one of the Keweenaw’s most iconic landmarks.
