I am like a moth to a light whenever I hear there are Gale Warnings on the Great Lakes. I love seeing the power of what wind can do to these massive bodies of water. It is hard to show the scale of the waves without a measured object it its path. Lucky for us we have many awesome lighthouses along the shores. So to give you perspective, the Frankfort Lighthouse is 67 feet tall; another words almost 5 stories tall.
I arrived at this location in the pitch dark to ensure I wouldn’t miss the first light of the day. The darkness and rather rocky/rooty trail made for a tricky blind hike. However, it is all worth it because you are treated this lovely view of Porter's Island. This landscape reminds me more of Canada, than that of Michigan.
I can see why the ice climbers gravitated to this section of Grand Island in Munising, Michigan. The massive ice cliffs held this amazing blue colored ice. This cliff is easily 100 feet tall and I loved the contrasting colors of blue and white.
