A photo story

Mount Arvon, Michigan

Laura and I at the Mount Arvon summit sign in June 2026. It is the high point of Michigan, and it was number 44 on my lower 48 list, a walk through the woods of the Upper Peninsula. It had been a warm day, topping out around 78, and by evening it was in the upper 60s with a clear sky. Two days earlier I had been at Timm's Hill, about a six hour drive away.

The sign sits in the trees at the top, and the walk in is mostly through woods rather than a big alpine climb. We stood there together and I took the photo.
