This, the last week of October,
was a good time to get out to see the remaining colors on parts of the Niagara
Escarpment that stretches across Peninsula Park in Door County. The rock formation is interesting
itself, (if you want to know more about it click on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/niagara_escarpment) however the hike this week was
to check out the remaining colors in the most popular camping park in
Wisconsin. The trail that was
hiked is called Eagle Trail and runs along the base of the sheer cliffs at the
edge of the bay of Green Bay - - massive and irregular rugged rock formations
rising 240 feet that make for beautiful scenery.
Many of the leaves have fallen,
but lots still remained. Plus,
here and there, it was easy to find flowers still in bloom. Once again way too many photos
taken. Here then are only a few of
them so that you get the “feel” of the season in a place so near and so special.
Enjoy you hike today – the colors
& the rock formations.

ReplyDeleteHave scrolled up and down several times. Wonderful images and stunning scenery. Nice to see a bit of Lake Michigan too.
Like many Swedes I have relatives in SOM
Har scrollat upp och ner flera gånger. Underbara bilder och fantastisk natur. Roligt att se en bit av Lake Michigans stränder.
Som många andra svenskar har jag förstås släktingar i SOM.
Nice.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and powerful autumn images! /Anja
ReplyDeleteOh no,not too many pictures at all. Each one is so beautiful. The rock cliffs are interesting and of course the coloured leaves against the blue sky are always pretty.
