Trillium Hike

The other day I went on a hike with friend, Marcia O'Brien.  We started at the Sable Visitors' Center and hiked the trail along the Sable River, past Sable Falls, to the beach.  Then we walked the beach back to town.  It was a beautiful evening and a great way to celebrate the museum's opening.

The trilliums are at their peak!






It is probably not peak flow over Sable Falls -- but a lot of water none the less!



Fog over Au Sable Point....

Porcupine Mountain Backpack--Post 2

Today I will post the remaining photos from the backpack trip I took in the Porcupine Mountain State Park last week.

Sunrise....

Coffee is needed when you are camping!


The ducks swam by...


We were a little early for some of the spring wild flowers, but we enjoyed the ones we saw!


Possible future campsite...



Tree roots...


Mouth of the Big Carp River.  Cabin 6 is on the opposite shore....



The park had to build a new bridge since a flood took out the old one.
















A pair of merganser ducks appeared at the top of the falls, carefully managed their way down the white water.









Lunch...




Shining Cloud Falls...
