Painted in 2023
In celebration of their 60th year of operation, The Highlands at Harbor Springs commissioned Rad Smith to paint an updated trail map to commemorate their legacy of recreation in Michigan. With a history of innovation in pioneering new chairlift technologies and snowmaking capabilities, the resort installed the Midwest’s first Doppelmayr D-Line six-person, high-speed chairlift, the Camelot 6 for the 2022-23 season. Four hundred of the resort’s 435 acres are serviced by over 250 high-tech snowmaking guns. The Highlands offers family friendly fun off the slopes including fat tire biking, snowshoeing, 11 miles of Nordic trails, Sno-Go biking, zipline adventures, horseback rides, and more.
