Pictured Rocks National Park

Our first stop was Pictured Rocks National Park located near Munising, Upper Michigan. What a site for sore-- hung over eyes! The pictures below are just a glimpse of the surroundings. The park recommends viewing the 42 miles of lakeshore from a boat--- we didn't take the time--- but possibly on a future stop. We envied a couple of kayakers exploring the sandstone cliffs from the waters below.

The heat was almost unbearable. We struggled to hike a one mile loop-- we were out of water after the 2nd or 3rd step. Chubby people and 100' humid Wisconsin weather mix like oil and water! I highly recommend the park for any and all nature lovers-- hikers-- and sightseers!
