A day trip to the north of Wisconsin on September 28. 2023. I wanted to explore a few new locations in Iron County.
I stopped briefly at the Penokee overlook close to Mellen on Hwy GG. The sun came out and I was hopeful for a beautiful autumn day but it didn't last very long and the remaining day was mostly overcast.
My next stop was in Upson where I spent quite some time at the Upson Waterfall. It required a bit of climbing to get close to the falls and the rocks were slippery. My tripod with camera on it tipped over once - I was holding my breath when I saw it going down and landing on a soft spot. It could have easily hit a rock and broken the camera. Phew...
As I was continuing north I stopped a Corrigan's Lookout - a beautiful spot to view the area surrounding Upson Lake. Some of the fall colors were at peak or slightly past it (red and orange maple trees) and many trees were still green. The colors are so unusual this year!
My next stop was Superior Falls right at the border to Michigan. From the parking lot you have to walk down a very steep slope to get to Lake Superior and walk back a little to get to the waterfall. It's a charming little spot though the falls aren't very big.
I made a quick stop at Little Girl's Point - a sandy beach in Michigan. Shanti had fun digging in the sand and playing with another dog.
I slowly worked my way back home stopping here and there.
Enjoy my little day trip up north - thanks for viewing, Susanne
