Jeff Kalember and his son, Andrew, did some exploring recently and headed to the top of Bare Bluff. We've been up there before on the Pasty Cam, but this time we have photos of the climb to the top these two adventurers made. It looks a bit steep and rocky in places, but then when you look at the rest of the pictures, you see that it's well worth the effort to get there. By Capt.

In the last photo; what's interesting is that the Keweenaw Fault, for the most part, follows the shape of the shoreline to the tip before heading out into the Lake.

Fantastic pics. I was up there last year. I think By James W. Hird (Wvyooper) on Monday, July 11, 2016 - 09:08 pm:
OK for those of us that have no idea just where you are on the Keweenaw where are you and how do you get there? By D. A. (Midwested) on Monday, July 11, 2016 - 09:44 pm:
You get there by driving the Lac La Belle/Bete Grise Road about 3 miles east of Lac La Belle, then turn left on the Smith Fisheries Road for about 2.5 miles further east to a parking area. Then walk along the trails. After the first 3/4 mile you reach the trail head with a sign. It's a circular trail from there. The rough sections seen in today's pictures can pretty much be avoided by taking the clockwise route up and then come back the same way. The counter-clockwise route is steeper and has worse footing.

Correction: By Uncle Chuck (Unclechuck) on Monday, July 11, 2016 - 10:34 pm: One of my favorite spots, beautiful photos! We 4 wheel around there all the time. I wouldn't go with a 2 wheel drive, but that's just me.... and it's a long walk, or swim if you make a mistake!:=) By Uncle Chuck (Unclechuck) on Monday, July 11, 2016 - 10:40 pm:
And you are right Mary.... It doesn't get any better than that!! By Alex "UP-Goldwinger" (Alex) on Tuesday, July 12, 2016 - 07:59 am:
Fabulous...my first UP hike and one of my favorite places on earth! By Capt. Paul (Eclogite) on Tuesday, July 12, 2016 - 03:10 pm: Another good read is the Michigan Nature Association's brochure on Bare Bluff. In it, you'll discover that the Bluff is made of a relatively rare rock type on the Keweenaw, rhyolite. |
