Tahquamenon Falls is the largest waterfall in Michigan, and consists of the upper falls and the lower falls. The upper falls are the more scenic of the two and are easily accessible. At 50 feet high, and 200 feet wide, the upper falls is one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River.

There is a trail between the upper and the lower falls. It is 4+ miles, with some ups and downs, mostly through woods well above the river. The river is quite calm between the two falls, and there is not much rock to see. Naturally occurring tannic acids in the water give the falls their brownish tea color.
Visit 14 geocaches in the SwtM series. At each geocache collect a letter and number combination. Insert them into the phrase FiTS LIKe A GlOVE. Use the coordinates from the phrase to find the final geocache and become a Mitten Master
