DAY 3:
Your tour today starts off with a boat ride along the shoreline of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, which was our country’s first national lakeshore. The featured attraction is a three-hour Pictured Rocks Boat Cruise along the south shore of Lake Superior where you will see more than 15 miles of stunning 100 to 200-foot cliffs and rock formations such as Miner’s Castle, Lover’s Leap, Chapel Rock and Rainbow Cave. During the cruise, you will also see Grand Island and view the historic East Channel Lighthouse. After lunch in Munising, travel to the Palms Book State Park near Manistique to see The Big Springs of Michigan, or “Kitch-iti-Kipi” as the natives call it. The Big Springs bubble up at a rate of more than 10,000 gallons per minute and fascinates visitors with its clear water and peaceful surroundings. Called the “Mirror of Heaven” by the Native Americans, visitors take a self-propelled observation raft to view the wonders of the springs which include large trout, strange formations caused by the surging waters and constant eruptions from the depths below. After viewing the Big Springs, you will head to St. Ignace for dinner and your last night in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
