132) Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Visited: Tuesday, September 7, 2021

For some reason, my mind wants to call this site _painted_ rocks, not pictured.  But it's a beautiful site, with sandy beaches on Lake Superior, gorgeous rock formations, and many waterfalls.  Not having enough time to plan, we settled for a sampling of the treats, but very much enjoyed what we got to see.

What I wish we'd done: scheduled a boat tour.  It's far and away the best way to see many of the structures; I can easily picture us coming back to do so, when we finally get to Isle Royale

Unrelated: What I didn't expect coming here - there are pasty shops all _over_ the upper peninsula.  Apparently a result of miners from Cornell coming to the UP after the tin mines back home closed, but - nearly every local restaurant seems to advertise their pasties.
