Manitou Trail

Phil has been excited to show us Manitou Trail since he discovered it a couple of weeks ago. Tonight, he led the girls, my sister, and myself to Arch Rock. Manitou Trail goes from Arch Rock to Robinson's Folly.


I love how trees grow around rocks:


We went to Arch Rock first:


My sister is visiting for the week!


My daughter wanted a picture of them yelling like they're falling:


Lake Huron:








A side view of Arch Rock:


The coin operated viewers are removed during the winter season:





The beautiful woods:


Climbing up:


A cool view off Manitou Trail:


This is where the previous picture was taken from (reminds me a little of Pride Rock from the Lion King):


Some parts of the trail are narrow and along a big dropoff/cliff. Made us a smidge nervous with the girls, so we partnered with them in more dangerous sections:





Unusual tree:


The trail goes past a couple homes at one point. I liked the old ladder hiding behind the shrubs:


This sign is in the middle of the trail. I have no idea how anyone with a horse would get out to this area or need to read the sign. So funny!


View of Round Island from Robinson's Folly:


Mission Point Resort:


The sinking sun:


The girls had a splendid sword fight with sticks:


Beautiful trail!


Daddy was incredibly helpful:


We made it!


The trail brought us to the east bluff. I'm not used to seeing Mission Point from this point of view. I forget how large the Main Lodge is!


Our shadows:





Her stick made it all the way!


Bunny!


The Baby Grand:








A bunny near the theater:


Some tulips are showing their colors:


They survived the frosts & snow!








We enjoyed our trek along Manitou Trail! It was a beautiful little adventure and I recommend it!
