Pictured Rocks

Hiked almost 15 miles checking out Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. My legs were so tired by the end of the day, I literally couldn’t stand on them anymore. But the journey was well worth it. The park hugs the south shore of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Sandstone cliffs, beaches, sand dunes, waterfalls, deep forest, and some of the most unique sights beckon you to explore the entire park. Outside of the amazing sandstone cliffs my favorite landmark had to be Chapel Rock. Chapel Rock is a 250 year old white pine that survives isolated on a sandstone rock by its roots reaching across the divide to the mainland. There once was an archway connecting them but it collapsed in the 1940s.
