they very much enjoyed the swim at a nice beach where the au train river empties into the chilly waters of lake superior just west of munising.
the surface water temperature maps claim the water might be breaking 60°F but it sure didn’t feel like a degree above 50°F. brrrrrrrrr.
we decided to take a little hike pre-birthday hike up hogback mountain near marquette, michigan.
we didn’t know it at the time but some consider it one of the most difficult hikes in michigan. i don’t know about that, but it was challenging. the hard work was worth it though because the view of lake superior and the surrounding area was gorgeous.
super serious selfie alert! hiking and climbing and serious business 🙂
do yourself a favor and click through the panorama and view full sized on a large screen.
standing where the au train river empties into the lake superior at the au train scenic overlook and it is coooooold!

we’ve been here a few times over the years. i recalled shooting “lake superior in thirds here five years ago!
lake superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, near where the au train river empties into au train bay.
funny that this sandy beach is just a hop, skip and jump away from the rocky beach where we collected sauna stones.
