A Day of Adventure: Part 2

Here is my second posting of our day of adventure out in the woods of the Upper Peninsula of northern Michigan (my home!).

We decided to take a walk into a lovely waterfalls just off US 41 highway. It is only about a 15 minute walk from the highway. Although the spring wildflowers were not blooming yet there, it was still very pretty because the water was high from the spring run off.

I will return there when the wildflowers are in bloom and take some more photos and return again when autumn provides the beautiful changing leaves, too.

After going down a slight incline, you are greeted by this nice sign, pointing the way:

As soon as you turn left, you see a wooden walk way over the marsh, which keeps your feet dry!:

We saw this tree with the big hole in it and inspected it closer to see what may be living there?:





We peered in the hole, but couldn't find any sign of life inside!:

So, we just continued down the path, which ran parallel with the river:

It wasn't long before we could see the river's current get larger and here more of a roar from the river:

It looked like winter threw some trees in the river:

Just around the bend, we saw mist in the trees. A SURE sign that the river's waterfalls were close!:

Sure enough, the approach to the falls showed us that the current was really high and the water was indeed roaring even more:

Here is a set of falls on the river before the end falls. Pretty!:

And, here is where the falls just go over the rock ledge:

Looking down Canyon Falls to the little gorge where the water falls:

Look at that rushing water as it crashes over the edge!

Wonder if there are any Rainbow Trout trying to make it up the falls yet?

We couldn't see any, but they may have been in there!

Hope you enjoyed this trip to the falls with me.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

I will be posting Part 3 of A Day of Adventure soon!!
