Picture Rocks National Lakeshore

 

Kayaking is popular



We took the "Spray Falls" Pictured Rocks Cruise at 11:00am on a Tuesday.  Lake Superior was calm with partial overcast and haze from Canadian wildfires.  This is our second cruise of this type.  The first was a "sunset" cruise in 2012.  I've also hiked and camped on the bluffs. 

At 8:00am we picked a choice street parking spot near the cruise departure docks and then walked to Earl E. Byrds for breakfast.

I've added a few photos of the earlier Sunset Cruise, taken in July 2012.

Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Copper and other minerals create the colors






I've taken a few videos, including the falls.  Perhaps I'll edit and upload on my YouTube channel.
