This is the time of year I like to set aside for daily foliage drives and hikes in the local countryside of Northern Michigan to take in the changing of the foliage guard as we leave the lazy days of Summer behind.

My wife and I decided to spend yesterday in the Boyne Falls, MI region to check out a new "attraction" that opened late last year called the Boyne Mountain Skybridge. Essentially, you get a chair lift ride up to one of our "fairly famous" ski hills and then transition by walking onto a 1,200 foot long suspended bridge that is stationed across one of the Winter ski runs. At times during the stroll across the bridge, you will end up being above the treetops below.

The leaf colors were at "peak", and by arriving early in the day we were able to take advantage of some briefly appearing blue skies and sharing the experience with a very small crowd of other "leaf peepers" like ourselves.

A handful of snapshots from the day....including some chinook salmon in the Boyne River to top off the day after leaving the ski resort! Last stop was the Friske cider mill South of Charlevoix, MI for fresh squeezed cider and donuts. Sorry...no donut/cider photos...they are long gone now!

If for some reason you get the chance yet this Fall, it would definitely be worth the trip...but I understand how schedules go! You will most certainly enjoy it once you get the chance!

I had forgotten about the small fly shop located in a lower level of one of the main buildings near the chair lift to the Skybridge. I stopped in and scooped up a few odds and ends for tying flies, and also got a 40% off deal on one of those "taco" cases to carry a pair of waders and boots in that doubles as a changing floor mat when getting in and out of your waders in the woods.

Thank you FishNChick! Glad you enjoyed them! I think we'll have about 2 more weeks of nice color, and then the big drop happens so the trees are bare until Spring.

Thank you Grizzly! Glad you enjoyed the photos and the "pre lunch" snack shot! Unfortunately...they do not deliver...I wish they did. To my knowledge, we do not have any restaurants in our town that serve Polish food so whenever I get the chance to have some I pounce on it!
