Anyone who knows me knows that waterfalls are my happy place!
The upper peninsula is loaded with waterfalls and we went to three of them on this trip. The first one is literally 10 feet off the road and it's called Alger Falls.
It's a small waterfall and it's two levels.
The next one we visited is called Horseshoe Falls.
It was bigger than the first one and had a pretty stream that ran down a hill. The bad thing was it's on private property and we had to pay to go back and look at it!
The only other falls we visited and the biggest one is called Wagner Falls.
There is a trail about 1/4 of a mile through the woods to get to it. What I love about that is you can hear the waterfall before you see it! The sound of that rushing water seriously soothes my soul. I could just sit there and listen all day!
We wanted to visit Tahquamenon Falls too which is a pretty good sized waterfall and a series of smaller falls but we missed the turn and by the time we realized it we were too far to turn back.
These are really small falls compared to some of the beautiful big ones they have in the UP. We've visited a lot of them but there is still more we haven't seen! I intend to see them all eventually! One of these days I'll repeat posts I've made of other falls we've visited up there!
That's about it for our little getaway. On Saturday we left in the morning and drove all the way home.
We made one more stop before we crossed to the lower peninsula. The bugs weren't nearly as bad on this side.
Thanks for coming along with me on our little trip. It was nice to get away.
In July we are spending a week in a house on a lake in Gaylord, Michigan with Shauna, Brad the boys, Chris and his girlfriend and Brad's mom. I can't wait and of course I'll be telling you all about it!
I'll be back soon.
Until then be safe and well my friends.
Thank you for taking us along with you! Beautiful photos and waterfalls are a happy place for me too. Have a great week. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are all pretty waterfalls, each very unique. I love to find waterfalls, too. We have a few nearby and I agree that the sound is very soothing.
ReplyDeleteLovely waterfalls (and who doesn't like waterfalls)
ReplyDeleteI too, love waterfalls!

You would enjoy Norway, I've never seen so many waterfalls as they have there. But you may not need to since you found all of the ones you are sharing here. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful vacation, Jeanette!! It's always nice to be "asked along". ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteWagner Falls is my favorite. And there's even a nice deck to watch from.
ReplyDeleteAll of these look like such beautiful spots. I've enjoyed tagging along on your trip.
ReplyDeleteI too love waterfalls.

We visited a lot of those falls when we were there too. The UP is so pretty and I enjoyed your trip!
ReplyDeleteThe falls sound enchanting! I hope you are able to see each and every one that your heart longs to behold. Thanks for sharing your beautiful trip with us. xoxo
ReplyDeleteVery pretty waterfalls! Have you been to Seven Falls in Colorado Springs? That is very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your trip with us! Like I said before, I doubt I'll get to Michigan in my lifetime, so it was fun to get a mini tour of your state :)
betty
Pretty waterfalls! I've only seen a few waterfalls in person. It's just swampland around here!
ReplyDeleteCool beans! Thanks for sharing. smiles
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your firstborn today, Jeanette! Yes indeed, some mighty great women gave birth on this day throughout history. I'm glad you and I are counted among them! ~Andrea XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteI could sit aside a waterfall (be they only a trickle or gigantic & roaring) any time...for hours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images.
This has been a lovely trip that you've shared with all of us. I too LOVE waterfalls; so calming even though they make me want to pee. :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have another family trip to look forward to in July! Yippee!
