Marquette locals like to call this Orehenge, when the sunrise can be viewed in the center opening of one of Marquette’s most iconic landmarks, the historic lower harbor ore dock, which was originally known as Wisconsin Central Ore Dock #6. These shots come to us from Bob Fleury who captured it as the sun made it’s way to light up the inside of the Ore Dock. This happens every November and January and Bob says it’s always nice to see it in the Fall and then again when the snow is covering the ground. Spectacular shots for sure!

We’re heading to St. Ignace for a late fall adventure with Nick & Marklyn, from MI Playground. The lead-in to the video says: “We are in St. Ignace for a fall adventure along the northern shores of Lake Huron. It all starts at Straits State Park which offers awesome views of the Mackinac Bridge. The drive east along the shoreline of Lake Huron includes stops at multiple hiking trails and spots to eat.”

Hi I like "Orehenge". Sometime I'll have to see the ore dock in person.
In the video they visited the Straits State Park near St. Ignace. Although we have our cabin, my family & I did camp at both Wilderness State Park near Mackinaw City and Straits State Park. If you want to camp and have easy access to either Mackinaw City or St. Ignace---or if you were stopping for the night before going on to other destinations--I'd recommend Straits State Park. If you want to be more remote, Wilderness State Park is good.

Spectacular. Some day I'll see that, maybe.

Always a treat to see these pix! And the video was great too. Marklyn and Nick are fortunate to be able to hike these trails and fortunate to have each other. May the Lord Bless their union together.

My husband and I finally got to see Orehenge on Wednesday! It was so cool. Bob’s photos are so much better than mine. Hopefully the skies are clear in January so we can see it again with snow!
