HIKING ! MICHIGAN # 4

Ludington State Park, which borders the east shore of Lake Michigan, has countless miles of trails.  We spent some of almost every day there, hiking from 4-6 miles each time.  The Island Trail is so diverse that we just kept returning.  There are boardwalks through marshes,

... and over them,  as trails actually connect multiple little islands.
We played "connect the dots" of islands ...


Old root snag seems to be standing on tip-toe to look at its reflection:

... up hills, and through woods ...



... high above the lakes.

We fixated on any hint of autumn color we saw, 
imagining what this area will look like in fall splendor.
