Keweenaw Peninsula

Here are a few photos from the trip Nazan and I took to the Keweenaw Peninsula. It was lousy weather and lousy light the entire time we were in Copper Harbor so I’m not sure I accomplished much photographically, but we did have fun getting away and doing some hiking. You can always hike in cold lousy weather.

Of course it’s hard to resist the cliche leaf photos. This was on Hideaway Beach, the “beach” is made up of these reddish rocks being ground smooth by Lake Superior’s waves.

We took a drive around the Mandan Loop, a 25 mile rough gravel road that you don’t get out of first gear throughout most of it. We saw other people only once, a couple of people on ATVs. That is the beauty of a place like Copper Harbor, there aren’t many places where you can really get away like this.

This was about the only break in the clouds as we drove over Brockaway Mountain.

This old car has been sitting hear for a while near a trailhead just outside Copper Harbor.
