After having a quick lunch at Hardee's, we headed to Tahquamenon Falls. We only visited the Upper Falls. Last year, there was a trail that allowed you to get much closer to the waterfall, but it was closed for construction this year, so we could only admire it from a distance. It didn't feel as impressive as it did last year.
