Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is one of the most stunning natural areas in the Midwest. Matched with this area’s particular penchant for producing stunning fall colors, the area is rife with tourism while maintaining a small community vibe.

The leaves reach their peak for about a week or two in late October giving a picturesque look to the already fascinating waterfalls, trails, bluffs, and beaches.

While kayaking can be one of the best ways to view the Pictured Rocks, another great alternative and the one that allowed me to capture this photo is the Pictured Rocks Boat Tour.
