Log Slide to Au Sable Lighthouse Hike: Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

This past Sunday was another beautiful fall day in Grand Marais.  What a wonderful fall this has been, at least overall.  I had a great hike and picnic with my friend, David, who was visiting from Traverse City.  Thanks, David, for a fun time!

First, we stopped at the overlook at Sable Lake to get a few fall color photos.  There were at least a dozen other people there doing the same thing.

Hiking the trail....

Even at the top of the bluff there is erosion.  The trail has had to be re-routed in sections.

Au Sable Lighthouse....

We were sort of hoping that we would see a bear.  There must have been multiple sightings for the National Park Service to put up this sign.....

Hiking back....
