On Tuesday, we crossed the Mackinac Bridge to the Upper Peninsula and drove to Munising. Our plan was to take a Pictured Rocks cruise once we arrived. However... as we drove it was raining and when we arrived in Munising we found that because of the strong winds the boats weren't going out.
We stopped at a tourist information place and got a list of things we could do. We found that the area we were in had lots of waterfalls , so we started out to find some of them.

Next we headed to another spot to hike to another falls. Above, you see the trail that was next to the sign. The water was deeper and muddier than it looks so we made our way across the plank you can see, holding each other and some branches. Imagine our surprise when we got to dry ground and realized that on the other side of the plants was another path - completely dry!
Here is the dry path. It gave us a good laugh!
This is what we were rewarded with at the end of that hike - a beautiful falls! This is Wagner Falls.
We took another hike and found the Munising Falls. This one is surrounded by the rocky cliffs you see below.
This is the North Channel Lighthouse, on Grand Isle near Munising. It is no longer in use, but has been restored in "rustic form" and a seawall was built to protect it.
As we walked along Lake Superior, we came across this old boat, breaking down on the sand.
The shores of Lake Superior are so beautiful!
This is Miners Castle. It was fun watching the waves come in, and seeing the water splash through the holes in the bottom of the rock.
One of the waterfalls we were looking for made us take quite a walk. This pretty path meandered through the woods, making it quite enjoyable!
This is the Falls we were walking to - Miners Falls.
This is one of the piers at Munising. I always like seeing the boats lined up!
Last, but not least a few pictures to make you smile!
The hotel we stayed at in Munising had these huge chairs out front.
Don't we look funny in them?
