Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore

Along the Superior coast, two hundred foot cliffs of Cambrian period sandstone, deposited  500 million years ago. Water seeping through the sandstone desolves minerals and runs down the cliff face  creating a continually changing tapestry.
Red and brown stripes come from iron,
Black from manganese, turquoise and green from copper, yellow and white from limonite. It all stretches down to Superior's jade green waters.

The cliffs have been eroded into interesting arches, caves, and pillars, with descriptive names such as, Miners  Castle,  Lovers Leap,  and Chapel Rock.

We took a boat ride, it's really the Only way to see it.  Spectacular!

We did hike in to see some waterfalls, and spent some time on Miners Beach, where I took a dip in the 63° water.  It was just a dip.
