Summer Vacation: Day 5

We had breakfast and lunch at the house and then hit the road.  Destination was Iron Mountain.  The first stop was the Iron Mountain Iron Mine. We decided to take the tour of the mine.  When in operation the mine had 13 levels.  The only one that is open for the tour is level 1.  The others are flooded.

The next stop was Pine Mountain.  This is the site of one of the largest artificial ski scaffolds in the world.  The scaffold height is 176 feet and the length is close to 400 feet.

Next stop was two waterfalls in the area.  Fumee Falls and Piers Gorge.

It was getting dark as we were walking out to the van.  We stopped for ice cream at DQ and then headed back to the house.  It was a long day and we turned in for the night.
