Sunday, June 30
We left camp at 8:30 and drove more or less all day, stopping at a dog park for lunch, and arriving in Munising on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula at around 6 PM. We were just in time to see the low angle light sun on Munising Falls and Miner’s Castle in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Then we drove a few miles down H58 into the Hiawatha State Forest and found a short grass covered forest service road where we could park up for the night hidden away from the main road.

6:30 wake up call and a 90-min drive through the forest to Tahquamenon Falls State Park, where they have an Upper Falls and a series of smaller Lower Falls of the Tahquamenon River. Also known as the Rootbeer Falls, the dark brown color of the water is due to tannins from decomposed cedar, hemlock, and spruce trees.
After a cheesy grilled cheese with pickle for lunch and another 90-min drive back to Munising, we split up for the rest of the day. Jessica had a five-hour kayaking adventure on the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, exploring sea caves and the coastline from 3:30-8:30 while I got gas and our KOA campsite, took a brief swim, and then had a two-hour NPS guided boat tour of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. I could see some of the kayaks but wasn’t sure which one Jessica was in.
