U.P. Michigan Trip

I took the 3 Day Weekend as an opportunity to take a Multi Day Trail Outing through the North Eastern Part of the U.P.

I started my Trip at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
Arrived at 4am Saturday! This first shot is a night shot and extra long exposure using the red lenz on my head lamp to make the red effect. Very cool, no photo shop here!!!!






Once We got into the Park we did not have any paved roads!!!!!

Miners Falls!

Castle Rock

Beaver Lake Look out.. The Rangers will tell you the trail is closed, but the truth is that all the trails in the park are open and most are not even marked, we just wheeled all day through the park and got to see things that are not on the Beaten path

White Fish Point and the Dunes on the Eastern Part of the Park


Lots of Wheeling along the way between sites!


Random Phone Booth in the Middle of the woods! We thought it was funny!

My FJ's First Ferry Ride!

Sweet Water Falls Along the way!

Last Sunset before we head home!



This was a great ride, but you will have plenty of Desert Pinstriping if you take the trails in the park, they are narrow and low hanging, some of the spots you can get stuck, especialy the sand so bring recovery gear! But it was a great time!!! Some the the hard core wheeling is between the park and white fish point, lots of rock and sand with decent elevation changes.

Re: U.P. Michigan Trip

CHITOWNFJ - awesome pics dude! You do Michigan, and the UP in particular, very proud.

evilskier - I didn't make it into Petosky, but my FJ was bouncing all over the Sleeping Bear lakeshore for the holiday weekend - Glen Arbor, Leland, Suttons Bay...

My homage to my favorite Michigan coast...

Yea!! We were there on Sunday night right as the sunset was going down! I liked M22 but way too much traffic. I prefer the out in the boonys feeling of the U.P. better.

You don't have an excuse then!!! Pictured rock is awesome, but make sure you make the hike to Chapel Rock and Chapel falls, They are really pretty and worth the 3 mile hike!

These are pictures from 2 years ago... we got my parents Denali stuck up there... Booooo wish I had the FJ then.

Re: U.P. Michigan Trip

I miss MI, I'm tempted to drive back next time I visit my family just to take the FJ on the trails I wheeled when I was in high school
