We drove 4 miles to the Miners Fall and the Miner's Castle in Picture Rock National Park. This was Karolina,'s suggestion and turned out to be a real gem. The roads and the trails in the park go through a forest of Sugar Maples , White Pines and many other trees that I do not know the names of. The spring leaves are making these views very colourful with all shades of green mixed with yellows and oranges.
The forest floor is covered with many colorful wild flowers. We saw all colors of wild flowers except red. I wonder why the natural selection discouraged red wild flowers. (may be I will check in to it with Dr. Google later) .
A short one mile trail brought us to miner's Castle on the shores of lake Superior. This is where all the pictured rocks are. Little geography: This area used to be a shallow, warm inland ocean millions of year ago. Later , the Glaciers and the rivers made their art work and the rocks have colors of all sorts of minerals.
Another view of the famous picture from this park.Please continue to the part two for more pictures and description.
wow! the lake looks beautiful.
