Castle Rock
Castle Rock is a stack of limestone that rises nearly 200 feet above the waters of Lake Huron, just a few miles north of Saint Ignace, Michigan. For $1 visitors can climb the stairs to the rock and enjoy the views of the surrounding area.
Tower of History
The Tower of History rises 210 feet above Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, giving visitors an great view of the area. We visited the tower on our way out of town.
I thought for a moment that it might have been better to have visited the tower at the start in order to see from above before our time in Sault Sainte Marie. However, I would not have recognized what I was looking at had we not first spent a few days in the town. Maybe the tower would be a good place to visit in the middle of one's stay in the area. That way you can both see what you've already discovered and discover new things to explore.

| We take the elevator, and I resist the urge to ring the bell |

| Looking down, I'm kind of glad I didn't take the stairs |

| I can see Canada from here |

| I'm feeling a bit high |

| The Valley Camp -- a freighter docked and transformed into a museum |

| There's our motel |

| A bridge to Canada |
