Icing on the light! It looked as if this lighthouse was covered in cake frosting, the way it was caked on. 🤣 I know, I know, cheesy but it is true! I just thought it was so cool to see the Grand Haven Lighthouse (in Grand Haven, Michigan) covered in this beautiful ice.
If Hogsback Mountain or Sugarloaf Mountain in Marquette, Michigan is a little too strenuous of a hike, Thomas Rock near Big Bay, Michigan is a perfect alternative. The drive up to Thomas Rock is beautiful and the walk up to Thomas Rock is short and has a slow incline. Once at the top you have a view of Big Bay and Lake Superior and if you time it right the beautiful view of the fall foliage.
If you are a Michigander chances are you have seen a picture of this lighthouse before. It can be found on some of the Michigan License plates. White Shoal Lighthouse is the only barber pole (red/white) lighthouse in the US and can be found in Lake Michigan. The warm glow of the sunset casted its beauty onto this unique and historic lighthouse.
