I started the most recent installment of my photographic journey chasing waterfalls in western North Carolina, and still enjoy checking out new-to-me waterfalls during our travels. We recently stopped by Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the U.P. of Michigan to see and photograph the Upper Falls.
Tahquamenon Falls is sometimes referred to as the “root beer falls” due to the amber color of the waters caused by tannins in the cedar swamps from which the river drains. The water really does take on the cast of root beer barrel candies!
That’s just beautiful!
The color was really interesting. I’d love to see it in fall colors.
Great view of one of the gems up there. Hopefully the bugs weren’t too bad.
Remarkably, we have had no issues at all with bugs. Even walking through wooded areas has thankfully been bug free.
That is interesting. Make me wonder what the water tastes like.
Probably NOT like root beer!
