Sunset: The last few rays..!!

I happened to encounter this beautiful sight while I was on the US 22 Mi highway during a pit-stop. It was totally accidental and I was fortunate to capture the last few rays of the sun before it could rest.!

Eastbound US 2 in Michigan's upper peninsula. Great scenic drive, my personal favorite.

Pretty Overlook onto Lake Michigan
Motorists on U.S. 2 notice the striking, deep limestone gorge formed by the Cut River as it empties into Lake Michigan. But the attractive, shady picnic areas at the bridge's east and west ends end aren't quite so obvious, nor are the paved paths and stairways that descend 147 feet to the river on either side of the gorge.

The east park and path are more elaborately developed and easier to walk. There a striking stretch of asphalt path (wheelchair-accessible) goes under the dramatic stone bridge supports to the splendid stairway. The stairs are in flights, with large landings and overlooks to make the trip back up less arduous and more interesting. 

As you descend, the sound of waves replaces highway noise. It's beautiful to look down through the treetops and glimpse the beach and water below. This would be especially dramatic in fall color season. From the bottom, it's an easy walk along the river to the sandy beach. Kids enjoy diverting water to make their own channels and lagoons. 

Look up to see interpretive markers identifying some trees along the way. Spectacular as the walkway is, the DNR Wildlife Division's Michigan Wildlife Viewing Guide (Michigan State University Press, $9.95) says that "the real beauty of this site lies hidden among the rolling, forested dunes of the Lake Superior State Forest. Hike these trails in May to view spring wildflowers such as trout lily, trilliums, and Dutchman's breeches. Spring is also a good time to view migrating warblers and other songbirds." Songbirds migrate along the Lake Michigan shore and use the wooded gorge as a rest spot. Some stay over the summer and breed here.

Mary Lynn was a wonderful hostess. She was helpful and friendly without being overbearing. The house was clean and cozy and felt like a home away from home. We would definitely stay again if our adventures bring us to the UP in the future!

A very small town with limited dining locations nearby. Normal for the UP. But still worth noting.

It looks like a lot of the stores have shut down over the years. There is a really nice small park with a boat launch nearby.

Nice little city right on Lake Michigan. It’s kind of in the middle of a whole bunch of great spots to visit.
