Exploring the stunning cliffs of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore was one of my favorite parts of our Michigan road trip last summer. ☀️ 

It sort of feels like stepping into a painting thanks to its colorful sandstone cliffs, hidden waterfalls, and Lake Superior views! 💧 

We took a boat tour to see the beautiful shoreline views from the water 🛥️(we had two small kids with us), but you can also kayak through it to see caves and arches 🛶 

(( We booked our boat tour with @picturedrockscruises ))

You can also hike along trails with incredible overlooks. 🥾 Don’t miss Chapel Rock, Miners Castle, and Spray Falls! 

This part of Michigan’s upper peninsula is so stunning 😍 It’s definitely a “must do” road trip
