Michigan Pictured Rocks
A little farther east Miners' River enters the lake close under the brow of the cliff, which here sinks down and gives place to a sand bank nearly a third of a mile in extent. The river is so narrow that it requires no little skill on the part of the voyager to enter its mouth when a heavy sea is rolling in from the north. On the right bank, a sandv drift plain, covered with Norway and Bauksian pine,,spreads out, affording good camping ground,—the only place of refuge to the voyager until he reaches Chapel River, five miles distant, if we except a small sand beach about midway between the two points, where, in case of necessity, a boat may be beached.
"Beyond the sand beach of Miners River, the cliffs attain an altitude of one hundred and seventv-three feet, and maintain a nearly uniform height for a considerable distance. Here one of those cascades of which we have before spoke is seen foaming down the rock. '
