Today we left Mackinaw City and headed north across the bridge. First stop was just north of the bridge to see the profile of Mackinac Island – the shorelines of glacial Lakes Nipissing and Algonquin were clearly visible.

Next, we headed up north to Cambrian age rocks at Tahquamenon Falls State Park and an up-close look at sandstone, cross bedding, and a conglomerate layer.

We ended the day with a boat cruise along Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore – the area we will go explore in more detail tomorrow!
