From there, we headed southwest to the Taquamenon Falls. (Rhymes with Phenomenon) It is a series of falls that spread over 4 miles. We went to the Upper Falls and hiked along there. Our guidebook said that the lower falls were not as spectacular as the upper falls. There were a couple of overlooks along the trail. One had 94 steps and the other had 116 steps. I was tired out climbing steps. We opted to go to the Bear Park but got there too late. It closed at 5pm and we and other tourists got there at 5:30. The UP is pretty much a wilderness of pine trees, birch, and sugar maples.

We got back to the motel and again were not hungry because of our big lunch. We went over to the Commons to get some fudge and a waffle ice cream cone. It was raining so we turned in.
