Welcome! This blog is all about my adventures hiking around the Keweenaw in the UP. I like hiking with different agendas including rock hounding, hunting waterfalls, trying out a new trail, or just taking in the view. Enjoy!

Sandstone Beach
July 4, 2010: The family and I decided to go for a drive today and do a little swimming. We drove up the east side of the Keweenaw on Lac La Belle Rd. Between the town of Gay and Bete Grise, we stopped at a Jacobsville Sandstone beach that was located not far off the road. The beach was secluded in that no one lived near by. For a neat view of the Jacobsville sandstone and just to see how impressive it really is, on Google Earth follow the eastern coastline from Gay to Bete Grise and you can see the bands of red and white in the sandstone from above. Just awesome. We saw some kettles and ripple marks in the sandstone. My daughter liked sitting on the sandstone and plunging her legs into the small kettles. A very neat area to explore.
