Gooseberry Falls & Split Rock Lighthouse
A smoky sunrise over Lake Superior kicked off a slow Sunday along Minnesota’s North Shore. From a quiet riverside overnight near French River to scenic hikes at Gooseberry Falls and golden-hour photography at Split Rock Lighthouse, the day unfolded with good food, helpful park rangers, and a perfectly quiet night beside an old steam engine in Two Harbors.
Kitch-iti-kipi and Manistique, Michigan
After a morning exploring an unusual siphon bridge and an old waterworks in Manistique, I stumbled into a peaceful detour that led to hours of unexpected macro photography with electric-blue damselflies. Eventually, I made it to Kitch-iti-kipi, where crystal-clear waters and lazy trout made for one of the most magical moments of the trip. I finished the day camped by Indian Lake with Starlink streaming under a canopy of trees.
