Porcupine Mountains

great for hiking and camping. cool terrain.

I’ve visited the Porkies twice, once in the dead of a February winter and the other in the midst of the vivacious fall colors. From the solitude, deep snow and cold river fords of an Upper Peninsula winter to the invigorating encounters with other seekers of fall colors the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park is a place to find the solace of the backcountry in the Midwestern United States.

There must be really intersting and amazing :)

I went on a short backpacking trip here last year. It rained for about an hour in the evening and stopped just as the sun was setting. The view over Lake of the Clouds was absolutely breathtaking. The mist over the water and the way the sun’s beams hit the vapor where perfect. I didn’t take a picture becasue there was no way it would have done the view any justice. It takes awhile to get there, but it’s worth it.

Looking at the photoes I’ve thought it is here I have to go. It will be one of the first mountains I’ll visit.
