What I’ve done in Marquette MI:



I climbed to the top of Sugarloaf Mt. to see one of the most spectacular views of Lake Superior. It was one of the most breath taking view I’ve ever seen.

I went swimming in Lake Superior which is just like an ocean except there are no sharks or scary sea creatures to attack me and it doesn’t taste awful. It’s some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen you can see straight down to the rocks at the bottom more than 40 feet below you.

This brings me to the next thing I’ve done, Darcy and I located one of the lighthouses Marquette has on Presque isle, and climbed a quarter mile out over huge boulders to climb up to it. When we started climbing we weren’t sure if what we were doing is allowed. That is until we met our first Yooper (a nickname given to people that live in the U.P. of MI) that told us “we’re in America, we can do whatever we want, eh.” When we climb up to the lighthouse and looked over the edge the water looked no more than ten feet deep, when it was actually more like 44 ft. deep and you could see ever rock on the bottom.

The fact that you can see the bottom is probably what makes jumping off of an 18 ft. cliff into the water so terrifying. I could walk up to the edge of the rocks, look straight down and see a hair scrunchy someone had lost. It took two trips to Black Rocks to finally get me to jump, but once I did I loved it, and jumped three times. Phil, Christina and I also found a jump site off the back on Little Presque Isle, a small island you can walk out to. We climbed and hiked over the difficult side of the island and jumped off the backside. It was awesome adventures that lead to us going back another time with the whole team. That time it was windy and only Phil and I ended up jumping off, because the water was wavy and made it difficult to get out.

These are all my favorite adventures I’ve had in Marquette so far, but tomorrow we are off to find another.
