Keweenaw Cliffs Hike, Fall Adventure

A beautiful October fall day in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. Located just outside Phoenix is the Clifton location, an abandoned mining town with piles of basalt and a few ruins to explore. Hike over the rock piles into the forest beneath the cliffs and slowly make your way up the cliff side to the trail above that leads to a beautiful overlook where eagles soar in the updrafts seeking prey below.
