I knew Michigan had Tamarack trees but I had no idea how many of them we really had until I saw so many of them turn peak this fall. Tamarack trees are really interesting because they are both a coniferous and a deciduous tree. Meaning they are a needle like evergreen tree that changes color in the fall and drops its needles.
Wanting to find more of "fall" I decided to take a detour down a narrow road. I was rewarded with this beautiful pine forest with the fall colors popping through the background.
Laughing Whitefish Falls is a fantastic waterfall to visit in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This 100 foot waterfall is unique because it has a long cascading fall to the pool below. It is a short easy .6 mile hike to the top of the falls. You can reach the bottom via MANY steps, all worth it though! I loved the movement of the water/foam in the pool, spinning around before it went down the river.
