Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

From Grand Marais I took the unimproved roads through the park land.  I wanted to experience the woods and maybe get a view of the lake. These sandstone cliffs are weathered primarily by Lake Superior.  Beautiful colors are vivid in the sunshine.  You will also find sandy beaches, waterfalls, and forest paths.

Doing a water approach by boat or kayak provides the best view of some spots.

There are 42 miles of shore, 15 miles of cliffs, and 5 miles of sandy dunes. This photo shows Miner River entering the lake and you see part of the beach.

You will find other waterfalls: Munising, Miners Mosquito, Chapel, and Spray.  It is recommended that you bring a map since GPS does not always work. 

Ice climbing is popular in the winter. Some areas are closed and check the website
