Pictured Rocks
The last leg of our Michigan trip was to drive to Munising on the Upper Peninsula to see the fabled Pictured Rocks. We stayed at a hotel (just a Holiday Inn this time) for one night after seeing the Rocks via a Pictured Rock Cruise. The only way to really see the rocks was from the water, although we saw several hikers way above the rocks, part of the National Park System. The colors in the sandstone cliffs were created by large amounts of mineral in the rocks that showed up as the rocks were eroded by water. As you rode by you could see various "pictures" in the rocks such as skyscrapers, village, battleships, etc. It depended on your good imagination.
The next day we drove back to the airport stopping for lunch at yet another charming little restaurant on the water. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to anyone. It's a beautiful part of our country.

Thanks for all the photos of the UP. They brought back wonderful memories. I grew up in the lower peninsula and visited the UP in 1993 and had a great time there. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, too. Michigan has some beautiful spots.
Ooooh! I love rocks! They are so inspirational and beautiful. Great photos :-)
