Painted Rocks National Lakeshore, Munising, MI

While we were in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we stayed in Munising, right on the shoreline of Lake Superior. While there, we took a boatride along the Painted Rocks National Lakeshore. The Captain of our boat explained the coloring of the rocks made by different deposits of copper and other ores and minerals. It gave me an opportunity to take about a zillion pictures but I have tried to pick out a few that would give you a taste of what we experienced.



Can you see the profile of an Indian Face?





This is a very old lighthouse, not in use since the early 1900's. It looks like an old school house or church.
A lovely sunset over Lake Superior and the end of our boat ride. But it is time, my posterior has fallen asleep. (the seats on this craft are not very well padded---even though I am, the seats are still rock hard)
The Happy Travelers go into Wisconsin next so more later.....

  1. Wow! I love that last picture.

    Wouldn't it be fun to travel the country capturing all of the interesting lighthouses?
