Michigan Pictured Rocks
THE PICTURED ROCKS
The Pictured Rock, of which almost fabulous accounts are given by travel ers, are about a hundred and ten miles west of Sault Ste. Marie. Here also are to be seen the Cascade Falls and the Arched Bock, both objects of great interest. The Amphitheatre, Miners' Castle, Chapel, Grand Portal, and Sail Bock, are also points of great picturesque beauty, which require to be seen to be justly appreciated.
"We give an extract from Foster and Whitney's Report of the Geology of the Lake Superior Land District.
"The range of cliffs to which the name of the Pictured Bocks has been given, may be regarded as among the most striking and beautiful features of the scenery of the Northwest, and are well worthy the attention of the artist, the lover of the grand and beautiful, and the observer of geological phenomena. Although occasionally visited by travelers, a full and accurate description of this extraordinary locality has not as yet been communicated to the public.
