Hwy 51 Wisconsin 2011 Day 7

Greetings from the Northland!
We are writing tonight from Iron Mountain, Michigan after yet another enjoyable day on the road. Today was the day for admiring nature's beauty. We began our day on the hunt for Lake Superior and waterfalls. We visited Copper Falls State Park at Mellen, and went on a really nice walk and saw two waterfalls. We traveled on to Ashland, which is right on the lake, and had absolutely breathtaking views of the water. Our drive from Ashland to Iron Mountain across the UP of Michigan was very relaxing, and beautiful in its own right. Enjoy the pictures.
Here is a waterfall in Copper Falls State Park.

We found a rocky shore on Lake Superior.

This is an old ore dock at Ashland. When it was built in 1916, it was the largest concrete structure in the world.

Last but not least...Lake Superior. This is a shot of the lighthouse at the end of the breakwater in Ashland.

Tomorrow we turn south from home. We'll post final thoughts from there.
