Michigan Trip Day 5

In the morning we headed over to Picture Rocks National Shoreline which is only a couple of miles from the hotel. We walked a short path to a few overlooks to see the cliffs from the top. It was a very impressive look at the clear waters of the Munising Bay. At noon we took the Picture Rocks boat tour. It was a 2 hour 40 minute excursion up 13 miles of coast to see the rock outcrops up close. The day was nearly cloudless with a very light breeze. Here are a couple of slabs that fell recently from the cliffs.
Looking back from the rear of the boat on the way out.
I took this picture looking back while pulled into a cove. Since it was a calm day the boat captain was able to pull us right into a cove. At one point there was only a few from the boat and the rocks on both sides and the front.
This is cathedral rock. The tree on top is connected to the soil across the way by those roots hanging across the gap. Apparently there used to be an arch that fell leaving the roots that support the tree behind.
A view from in the boat showing what the view from teh boat was like. We had at least 40 minutes of time up this close.
