And now?...the Upper Tahquamenon Falls!

This is the last of my series of the tour of sights we saw on the eastern side of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, when we went to see my Blogger Buddy, Cathy from YOOPER YARNS.

If you haven't read the previous posts of Crisp Point Lighthouse, Whitefish Point or the lower Tahquamenon Falls, please go below this post and have a read or two.

Today, I want to show you the Upper Falls of the Tahquamenon Falls, because it is spectacular.

They say it looks a lot like Niagra Falls. I have to agree with them as I have seen both falls, and although Tahquamenon is smaller in scale, it does resemble the Niagra Falls quite a bit.

Here they are!
This shot is from above the falls....looking down at the fall's shelf:




This is from a path across from the falls, using my zoom:



It was a crisp but sunny day.
I loved how the sun lit up the pines at one of the lookouts
overlooking the falls:




The falls looked beautiful, no matter what angle we looked at them:




And the mist!!!!
I LOVED the mist that the falls kept throwing up at the sun as it poured over the edge:






The rush of the water made a ROAR as it went over the edge and hit the bottom:







There was a path that went along the river with plenty of lookouts back towards the falls where you could take more photographs:








Every spot seemed better than the last to take a photo of these wonderful falls:









Can you hear the ROAR???:










Or maybe you prefer the quiet view from way down river?:








Or the view of the autumn leaves along with the view of the falls?:



Nope, I can't decide which view I like either.

That's why I had to post ALL of these pictures of the Upper falls for you.

But better yet, why don't you go there and see for yourself?

I know you won't be disappointed!!

And if you DO come up to the U.P.???

Promise you'll let me and Cathy know!!!

We'd be happy to be your tour guides.....
