The Great Road Trip Part IV - Painted Rocks National Lakeshore

We travelled to Munising, MI to view the Painted Rocks National Lakeshore along Lake Superior. It was raining on the afternoon we arrived and we were afraid that we wouldn't get to see the sights. When we awoke the following morning, it was so foggy - actual pea soup - so we watched some TV since the kids hadn't seen any in awhile and then decided to go view the Munising Falls which was a short, fun hike. Then we decided to take our chances for the second boat tour. It was a very wise decision because the mist was beginning to fade, but made the scenery even more beautiful. This place was awesome and so worth the stop. You can't actually view the rocks from the land, but there are excellent hiking trails and primitive camping the entire length and we saw quite a few adventurous souls. Anyway, the rocks are multicolored because natural springs leach through them and each different mineral leaves its mark. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
