October 26th

After Drew's final hockey game of the weekend we checked out of the hotel and made the drive west for our second trip to Tahquamenon Falls State Park of the year. We stopped at the Upper Falls first, which we skipped completely during our last visit. We also made the trek to the gorge viewing area, which I don't recall doing during any of our trips in recent years. Here are some of the pictures from our first stop of the day...
