When people ask me what my favorite hike in Michigan is 👀 This one is hard to beat! Random thoughts about these photos - As a photographer you always want to take photos a couple hours before sunset or after sunrise to get the best lighting. Sometimes I look at these and I'm like ehhh they could be better. But the thing about hiking and photography is that sometimes you just don't get to be places when the lighting is ideal! And that's one thing about me - lighting is not going to stop me from taking photos even if it's direct sunlight. So here's some photos taken in the heat of the day, at one of my favorite places in Michigan 🫶🏼 📍Chapel Loop Trail, Pictured Rocks PLEASE be sure to follow the leave no trace principles and to take caution on this hike. There are direct cliff drop offs hundreds of feet above Lake Superior and Pictured Rock's sandstone cliffs collapse every year as you can see in my photos. Along this trail, I definitely saw people leaving toilet paper and hygiene products just out and about in the forests and we have to be better. Pack it out with you and dig holes for the bathroom. And please be prepared with plenty of water, food, proper hiking shoes, etc. #picturedrocks #chapelloop #northernmichigan #UpperPeninsula Hikes in Michigan | Pictured Rocks Bucket List | UP Bucketlist - @thewanderingmichigander
