#munising #fallcolorphotosIt was a rainy...windy...sometimes a peek of sunshine kind of day in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. So we took a run to Munising to get one of our favorite pizzas at Main Street Pizza. We took it down to Sand Point to enjoy the beautiful Fall foliage still holding on around the Old East Channel Lighthouse on Grand Island. ... See MoreSee Less

FROM Tahquamenon Falls State Park --> Tamaracks are the last of the fall color. These unique trees are the only conifer in Michigan to lose all their needles each winter and grow new ones in the spring. - #newberry#newberrymichigan #fallcolorphotosTamaracks are the last of the fall color.

FROM McGill's Nature in Motion --> After photographing Miners Castle during calm waters and sunshine...we decided drive to Sand Point and check on the color on Grand Island and the Old East Channel Lighthouse. The sun was getting swallowed up by dark foreboding clouds moving over the island. It was perfect to appreciate the colors of the Fall foliage...the amazing colors of Lake Superior and awesome clouds...all surrounding this historic building. It never fails to impress... - #munising #easternup #fallcolorphotosAfter photographing Miners Castle during calm waters and sunshine...we decided drive to Sand Point and check on the color on Grand Island and the Old East Channel Lighthouse.

Newberry Fall Color Report – 10/5 – What a difference a few days (and cool nights) can make! We are seeing a lot more color now, especially where the trees are not as protected as they are in the woods. If you don’t mind driving the “highways” of the area (as opposed to getting deep in the Yooper woods by a gravel road or a two track) you will see some decent color, BUT if you can wait a couple more days it’ll be even better.
I think by this coming weekend, viewing in the area should be pretty good and in SOME places will be close to 60% if not more!! The new “water reflection photo” was taken a couple of days ago. Keep checking back!

Newberry Fall Color Report – 10/01 – The new photo to go with the report today shows a bit more color than what we’ve been seeing. AND it depends on where you are as to how much color there is. Reports have it that the Toonerville Trolley and Boat Tour are showing about 50% along the river, but you can see from this post that is not the case along side the road.
We took a drive towards Lake Superior and didn’t see hardly any color change going N. out of Eckerman. Then we went on Curly Lewis Hwy which runs e-w and not much there. We cut across on a side road towards Strongs which runs n-s and the photo is pretty representative of what we saw on that 9 mile stretch.
We have had very chilly early a.m. temps and frost which will help the colors start to change more quickly. I think if you try to time it for around October 8 + you should be good.
