And while it’s tucked away in the northern United States, Picture Rocks National Lakeshore is oh-so worthy of your bucket list no matter where you live.The best way to see the 200-foot sandstone cliffs that make the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore famous is to do it up close and personal by kayak! Take the autumn tourĭuring our visit to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, we already started daydreaming about a return during the peak of autumn colors. I don’t know if there’s such a thing as a “pastie maker,” but I want one for my next birthday. ![]() Several of my relatives created makeshift coolers so they could transport pasties back home. We ate at Muldoons Pasties in Munising where takeout food was flying out the door during our visit. They’re dough pockets filled with vegetable and meat magic, offered in several varieties. They sounded vile to the “kid me.” After this vacation, I wish I hadn’t waited so long to try one. I heard of “pasties” growing up in northern Wisconsin. ![]() I like “ quirky” and this qualified as a memorable dining experience. Great food, especially the fried whitefish from Lake Superior. Have you ever paid to eat in someone’s garage? We did, at The Fish Basket in Munising, which served people from its food truck and hosted them right next door in a garage with tables and summer Christmas decorations. Okay, I’m done using geometric shapes to describe our food. And the perch were oblong spheres of tastiness. They were spheres of deliciousness! So were the Swedish pancakes with lingonberries. The second meal resulted from the Swedish Pantry hitting a home run during our first visit when several of us tried the meatballs. The first stop resulted from good online reviews.

While our cruise narrator lack enthusiasm, the overall experience was worth every penny. I was overwhelmed by the textures and colors of its 200-foot cliffs and weathered rock monoliths. I’ve seen Lake Superior before but these views topped anything I experienced in the past. Pictured Rocks Cruises offers a variety of daily options including a sunset trip. You can glimpse them from hiking trails and scenic overlooks however, you’ll get robbed of viewing the expansive, etched tapestry along this 40-mile stretch of Lake Superior’s shoreline. To really soak up this national lakeshore’s geological wonders, you should view Pictured Rocks from the shore. I know, that’s a little quirky, but I could have weirder tendencies. In general, I prefer to look up at cliffs versus staring down from them. ![]() Pictured Rocks Cruises on Lake Superior.
