Ceasars Head State Park

Tuesday we went on a proper hike with Mum. We had water, snacks, sunscreen, maps, and all those sorts of things. Our goal was Raven Cliff Falls in Ceasars Head State Park. The weather was perfect & the full canopy shaded us from most of the sunlight.

On our way into the park we stopped at the visitors center & took in the view of Table Rock Mountain.

The trail we chose lead to a viewing platform and was about 4.5 miles round trip. Now, I walk that far most days in Lansing without too much ado. However Lansing is flat, very flat. This hike wasn't nearly as difficult as the one I had gone on the night before, but parts were still quite steep.

I ended up sleeping the whole way home & most of the evening... 2 days of mountain hiking is quite a lot for a flatlander!

Luckily this time I brought my camera. I've posted a few of my favorite shots from the day. More photos & captions can been seen on flickr by clicking any of the photos.
