On the stretch of US 41 between L'Anse and Baraga, is a giant copper figure standing astride a silvery cloud rising some 60 feet above the bluff overlooking Keweenaw Bay.

Great Getaways: Bishop Baraga Shrine - Top of the Lake Circle Tour
from Great Getaways #10002 Color of Nature near Manistique, Michigan
Travel Planner -
During his lifetime, Baraga founded many missions in northern Michigan. The original Indian Lake mission, the third of Baraga's faith, was built in anticipation of his first visit to the area in May of 1832. The chapel, built by local Chippewas, used traditional Indian construction methods and materials such as logs and bark.

100 feet Baraga Cliffs on Lake Superior
The 100 foot sandstone cliffs on the shores on Lake Superior in Keweenaw Bay cannot be seen by the passerby as they travel on US 41 north into the Copper Country. These cliffs extend roughly 2 miles with another small set of 5-25ft sandstone cliffs to the north of these.
--Site History--
The Baraga Cliffs area is located in the Keweenaw Bay area. This area once was a processing area for copper ore that came from the Mass City mine. There is a building just to the north (seen in pic 2 A frame building) of the Baraga Cliffs rest area that is the Michigan Stamp Mill building, to the south is the Keweenaw Bay stamp mill. The Keweenaw Bay stamp mill was built in 1900 and was in use until 1919. The Michigan Stamp Mill was built about 1906 and it never opened due to economic problems at the time.
Thanks for following and have fun out there get out there and explore the UP!

Haven Falls Lac La Belle Michigan 4k
Haven Falls is a beautiful roadside waterfalls. Right on the main road (Lac La Belle road) making it a convenient stop for a picnic with a waterfall background. It was raining quite hard when I first drove by the falls, so I decided to explore farther down the road. Eventually, the rain subsided and i was able to set up for a video/time lapse shoot. The water to the falls comes from Haven Creek which has a seasonally or wet weather flow. Slowly people started to stop by to take pictures. I did meet some new Facebook friends while I was there, too.

Ice on Lake Superior Keweenaw Bay in Baraga Michigan. This was recorded live on June 8th, 2014. The 2013-2014 winter was one of the coldest in memory. The cold winter froze over Lake Superior thickly enough for some ice to hang around into June.
This view is from US41 traveling to north from Lanse to Baraga.
