Mackinac Island

-

From Gaylord we headed north across the Mackinaw Bridge to the Upper Peninsula.

We stayed in a campground right across the road from Lake Michigan.  It made for some beautiful views.

We headed over to Mackinac Island on one of the Shepler’s Ferries.  Cole enjoyed the ride, but couldn’t understand why he wasn’t allowed to sit on a seat.

The island was very beautiful.  We enjoyed the scenery, and it was fun watching all the horse drawn carriages.  Cole tried to chase the first horse that he saw.  When that happened, my plan of taking a carriage to the Grand Hotel went out the window!

We had a great time exploring the island and bought our obligatory fudge!  Soon it was time to catch the ferry and head back to the mainland.

After we left Wyoming, we had several more National Parks on our list.   Next up was Rocky Mountain National park in Colorado.   We stayed just outside of the park so we had some beautiful views.  As we traveled on the park roads, we saw this guy. What was even more amazing was later that evening, we saw this, in our campground just steps from Dash. Next up was the Great Sand Dunes National Park, also in Colorado.  This park is small but the views are really neat.  Check out this swirl cloud formation as we were entering the park.  I have never seen anything like this! The dune is approximately 741 feet tall.  At first it doesn't look very big, but when you see people walking towards it, and then see the little specs at the top of the dune, you get a sense of just how big it is. It was really cool to see the high plains in this area.  We were at about 8100 foot elevation in the picture below. We also visited Mammoth Caves in Kentucky....
