Finally a Sunny Day in Marathon

Well we finally had a couple of sunny days here in Marathon and I decided to get out and take some photo. I managed to take some interesting photos of Pebble Beach with all the ice from Lake Superior being washed ashore. The ice build up is quite impressive in some areas and can extend out over 100m from the shore.

Pukaskwa: Swinging Bridge Hike

Well we loaded everyone up and headed to Pukaskwa National Park. Shelly, Joe, Scotty, Robin, Noel, and myself left Marathon around 9:30 am and started the 15 km hike to the swinging bridge along the coastal hiking trail. It was a beautiful sunny day, with a slight breeze when we were in open areas by the lake. The black flies and mosquitoes were brutal from time to time, but with lots of bug spray we managed. There was lots of bear sign on the trail out to the bridge as the bears seem to use the trail as their bathroom. We say several rabbits and a few chipmunks along the way.

Well yesterday Doug and I traveled to Pukaskwa national Park just out side of Marathon to take photos. It was a beautiful day with clear skies and moderate temperatures. We walked to Horseshoe Bay and then took the new trail to the left of the bay towards the mouth of the Pic River. Horseshoe Bay has a lot more beach front than last year, as the lake is down by about three feet. Mind you it is a beautiful sandy beach. The trail head that we took was at the end of the beach to the left.
Sturdee Cove and Carden Cove

Today we drove down to Cardin Cove and walked the Voyageur Trail from Cardin Cove to Sturdy Cove beach and then up to the top on one of the many Lake Superior shore line hills. The beach at Cardin Cove was about 5 to 10m longer than last year due to the low water levels in Lake Superior and the water was a tropical aqua marine blue. I think Lake Superior will be know for some of the best beaches in the world if the lake keeps receding.
