After visiting the Lower Falls, we drove a few miles to the taller, Upper Falls. According to the information provided to us, the Upper Falls are nearly 50 feet tall and more than 200 feet across. I enjoyed these a lot more than the Lower Falls.. as nice as they are.
Taken as proof that Josh has been to Tahquamenon Falls. See.. you can barely see the Photoshop lines!
These falls create a lot of mist when that water hits the river beneath it. You can definitely see the mist in some of these photos.
Wondering about the color in the river? Well, according to my sources, the amber color of the water is not rust nor is it muddiness. It is caused by tannin leached from the cedar, spruce and hemlock in the swamps drained by the river. So, there you go. It's also not caused by people pouring root beer into the river...
Not a good place to be hitch-hiking, Josh.
Here's the view you'd have if you decided to go over the falls in a barrel! (Minus the barrel, of course. Just use your imagination!)
Josh took these 2 photos of the trees. After this, we stopped at a place called 'the Fish House'. Can you guess what we had for lunch? Right! Sloppy Joes. Okay.. we had whitefish. It was pretty awesome.
