Gitche Gumee - Michigan

Large rock formation along the Pictured Rocks National Shoreline in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Located between the towns of Munising and Grand Marais, the Pictured Rocks rise from Lake Superior to a height of 200 feet in some places. The colorful streaks are formed by the minerals within the rocks leaching out over time. Groundwater evaporates, leaving streaks of red from iron, black and white from manganese, yellow from limonite and pinks and greens from copper. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “Hiawatha” poem references the lake as “the shining Big-Sea-Water”.
