We like to hike a lot in the summer.
Just a week or two ago we went to Opal Creek, near Detroit.
There's an abandoned mine by the side of the trail, complete with spooky drippy ceilings and dark murky tunnels. You can see that the tunnel is blocked off about 10 ft. inside the entrance.

There is also an abandoned mill by this beautiful "Waterfall of the Children".
There are some seriously tall trees in this part of the forest. It has been protected, so the old growth is still there, the water is crystal clear, it's absolutely beautiful!
We spent the walk back from the mill pretending there were faeries bathing in the streams and resting on the mossy banks, flying to and from their hidden houses. We even think we saw Peter Pan's secret hideout up a rocky, mossy cliff.
What a delightful hike! Love the falls. Love that you all have such fun times together. Thanks for posting the pictures and sharing some of the fun.
