Tahquamenon Falls

Day 2 of our northern trip found us headed to ride the train and then the boat to Tahquamenon Falls. This was an all day trip. First we went to Soo Junction where we caught the Toonerville Trolley that wound us through the countryside of the UP. We didn't see any animals as it is already hunting season and the animals stay out of sight. We did see a bit of the fall colors though. After the 5 mile ride (1 way) on the train, we ended up at the Tahquamenon River and enjoyed our 22 mile ride (1 way)on the boat. We headed up the river to the Tahquamenon Falls. After we got as close as the boat could take us, we had to hike almost a mile to get to the actual Tahquamenon Falls. It was well worth the hike and the steep steps to see the falls. What a beautiful world we have! The train was a narrow guage one, and boy was it a bone jarring ride! The boat trip was fun...we even picked up a 6 year old girl that had to sit by us the WHOLE ride(because she wanted to sit by us instead of her grandparents)....she was a chatty little thing who got on Tom's last nerve....but at least she didn't do any hollering, just talking. All in all, it was a fun trip. And we would recommend it to everyone!
