The Million Dollar Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

"Cut River is a small, short river (4 miles | 6.5 km) in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, with the mouth on Lake Michigan.

The Cut River Bridge, carrying U.S. Highway 2 over the Cut River close to its mouth, is one of the longest truss arch bridges in the United States, and is the eighth longest bridge in Michigan. Completed in 1947, the bridge is 641 feet (195 m) long and rises 140 feet (43 m) above the base of the gorge. Locals call the bridge "the million dollar bridge over a two-bit creek.""

It's from the base of the gorge that I captured this photo.

To get there, we walked about 270 steps down to the river and lake shoreline, which was very scenic. We then followed a trail through the gorge and eventually hiked back up to the bridge.

It was only 52 minutes from the time I captured the last photo but the difference was like day and night, with the sky all blue and the world once again colorful!
