Greenstone Falls 1 One of a set of photos experimenting with different settings. This one captures the light in the clearing and both the pool ripples and blurred reflection. Longer exposure here: www.flickr.com/photo...

#GreenstoneFalls on the #BigCarpRiver, not too far from #LakeSuperior. Part of the #PorcupineMountains #Wilderness #StatePark in #Michigan.

This park is a popular #backpacking destination in the #UpperPeninsula, offering a mix of routes (and some cabins).

Big Carp River This is not far from where the river flows into Lake Superior.

The #BigCarpRiver in #PorcupineMountains #Wilderness #StatePark. The #Porkies is a wilderness under #Michigan law, not US law.

One visible difference is that it has backcountry cabins as well as campsites, which is unusual outside #Alaska.

Looking back The Big Carp Trail goes from Lake of the Clouds (behind me) to Lake Superior (visible in the distance). It goes along the Escarpment before dropping into the often-muddy valley of the Big Carp River. ...

View from the #Escarpment over the #BigCarpRiver valley, with #LakeSuperior visible in the distance. My #backpacking route: along the lake, through the woods in the valley, up the Escarpment.
