Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

A must do attraction in a bucket list destination! In this post, we share our visit to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the iconic Michigan Upper Peninsula!

The "UP" (Upper Peninsula) is full of interesting, unique and beautiful places. You'll find things here that you won't find anywhere else. And Bonus: the summer weather is AWESOME!

We had heard stories of UP travels for years, but we had no idea that a national park existed there until we began planning for a visit.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is part of the US National Parks system. The National Lakeshore includes beaches, hiking trails, scenic drives, waterfall walks and an epic boat tour on Lake Superior. The view from the water is really where the Pictured Rocks shine.

Tips for Visiting Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

If you are worried about potential seasickness, I recommend Sea-Bands. I always wear them on boat tours because I never know what type of experience to expect. I had no issues on this tour. But I'm glad I had them on just in case.
