The U.P. of Michigan offers a variety of things to do for the outdoorsy type. Hiking, fishing, boating, sight-seeing, rock-hounding on the beach and biking are just a few of the activities that one can enjoy up here. Don't expect too many luxuries (although there are a few resorts in the area) and if you like big cities you might as well stay away. The largest city is Marquette with a population of about 21,000 and the entire U.P. hosts just under 300,000 people spread across 16,500 square miles. We stayed in Munising for a few days to explore the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. There are several waterfalls in the area to hike to and, of course, the lakeshore to cruise along. We took the sunset cruise along the lake shore hoping for some dramatic pictures of the pictured rocks. Alas, the clouds moved in and we could only imagine how stunning this beautiful shoreline could be with the evening sun hitting them. Still, it was quite a nice boat ride with some nice views.
