Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore runs along Lake Superior from Munising east to Grand Marais in the upper peninsula of Michigan. We took the spray cruise tour from Munising which goes out into Lake Superior where they point out various rock formations and there is a waterfall where they turn around and head back to the dock. There are 3 decks on the boat and the temperature was in the 70s; with the breeze it felt really cool to us but it was great. The guy in the welcome center showed us where to find 3 different waterfalls and we did but there was no parking available at any of them. We then went to the Mines Castle overlook of Pictured Rocks where there was plenty of parking and enjoyed the view from there.
Today we started at Laughing Whitefish Falls south of Marquette, MI which was very pretty. Then we went back into town and visited the Michigan welcome center and picked up some maps and information. We went to the Marquette Maritime Museum and Lighthouse which was enjoyable. We climbed 45 steps up to the lighthouse and toured one floor but the tower is operational so we could not go up there.
