Mosquito Falls at Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

A couple weeks ago, a friend invited me on a hike to Mosquito Falls at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The trail head for Mosquito Falls is the same trail head as the Chapel Trail Loop. It is an easy drive from Munising. A little over one mile, the hike meanders through a wonderful wilderness area with plenty of tree roots and mud holes. But the hike is well worth it when you come to the Mosquito River. There are wonderful rapids and several levels of waterfalls where the river flows over several drops before wending its way to Lake Superior. Below, I've posted a video as well as several photos from the trip. All photos are available as Gallery Wrap Canvas, Vivid Metal Prints, Prints, or Matted Prints.
