This past Friday turned out to be an unseasonably warm day. When we saw the temperature was going to be into the 80s on the Baraga Plains we headed down to the Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness in the Ottawa National Forest to hike to Sturgeon River Falls. There was only one truck in the parking lot when we arrived and we would meet those people coming out as we reached the falls. Adding to the lack of congestion was the near total absence of mosquitoes and flies. With blue skies, low humidity, and enough clouds to periodically block the hot sun, we had the formula for a great hike!
