With nights in the low 30s and high 20s, we gathered around a fire some nights. April even brought along some popcorn to pop over the fire. 

YUM!






The scenery was breathtaking at times, even for those in the group who had hiked here before.








The most stunning formation in this National Lakeshore is Chapel Rock (below and in video). 
This sandstone pedestal has been separated from the shoreline by erosion, but the lone pine tree on the formation still lives there, attached to the shoreline by long roots. 
This tree is over 200 years old.
