Hike to Miners Falls




We hiked a one mile round trip trail into the cool autumn world of the northern mixed hardwood forest in the UP of Michigan. At the end of the trail were 77 steps leading down to the viewing platform at the falls where Miners River cascades some 60 feet over a sandstone outcrop. Note the big stick that Jerry carries. And he says he is not afraid to use it on knuckleheads and bears! Jerry hiked halfway to the falls and stood guard for us.
