59: Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Part 8

59: Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Part 8
The day after leaving Copper County, I took the obligatory cruise of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It might be the one thing up here that people from outside the UP are likely to have heard of. And these open cliff faces, roughly 200 feet high, are truly spectacular. But they’re especially pictured in more ways than one. First, they have mineral stains covering their face, due to the huge amount of metal in the ground up here. There’s red and orange, from iron; blue and green, from copper; brown and black, from manganese; white, from limonite, and other colors besides.
