The ski jump as viewed from below.
This is the top of the ski jump. It is 1782 ft above sea level and nearly 1200 ft above lake Superior. It was foggy on the lake so we could not see it from the top. The very top is where we went to see 2500 sq ft across Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota/Canadian border.
The ride up was an 800 ft chair lift then the 18 story elevator ride and the 8 story climb.
This is a view of the trees and flowers we saw on the way up. Double click to see the pretty flowers.
Boy don't I look small compared to the jump and the trip we are about to take. This is the base of the elevator.
Still going to the top. It was an 18 story ride in the elevator then an 8 story walk the rest of the way to the top.
This view is down the slope. Done by experts they actually can fly 600 ft before hitting the ground to ski. In competition the skiers can get up to 70 mph.
A view from the top over the forest.
A view from the backside as we were going home.
Following are just a few of the waterfalls we have seen around the Wakefield MI area. This area has the highest concentration of waterfalls in the states.
This is an exposed root system of a tree along our path to the falls.
This is one of the paths taken to get to the waterfalls. It was really a beautiful area.
