Pictured Rocks: Mosquito Falls-Chapel Falls Loop Hike

We day hike the Mosquito Falls - Chapel Falls Loop trail in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, along the shores of Lake Superior. With multiple waterfalls, pine forest, arches, cliffs, & rock formations, this is definitely one of the best hikes in the Midwest.

I appreciate that, thanks!

[@gretchenlopez787]

Beautiful video!! Love the UP, cant wait to go back. I just cant get over how beautiful that area is❤

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

It really is! I was impressed!

[@PFAM5]

Epic! All the ridge line views of the rock formations were awesome! So much variety!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Variety was the word of the day. Waterfalls, lake views, rock formations! Thanks for watching Jason!

[@michele2017promastertravel]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I love the UP>

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Glad you enjoyed it! This was our first time in the U.P., we'll be back!

[@michele2017promastertravel]

@@SlonesWildernessExpeditions I've made a few videos up there, if your looking for stuff to do.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

​@@michele2017promastertravelI'll look into them, thanks!

[@MinuteontheMountain]

The falls were awesome as were the views of the lake.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thanks! Lots to take in up there.

[@thomasc7332]

Nice Bald Eagle Sighting. Cool history on Chapel Rock!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

That eagle was the icing on the cake! Such a cool area. Thanks for watching!

[@robertjones6880]

great video, well done. enjoyed it.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thanks! Great place to visit.

[@KentuckyWoodsman]

Great video and looked like a great hike! I hope to check this area out for myself very soon!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

I hope you do! It's gorgeous!

[@NicoleHikesalot]

you guys are troopers. I love this place so much, thank you for taking me back up there. So glad you got a good day weather wise to see all of this stunning beauty. The Eagle was amazing on top of Chapel Rock AND I didn't know there was an arch there once. So cool! Yes, that drive is so worth it to get up there.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

We considered canceling the U.P. and going somewhere else because of the weather, but it turned out the U.P. had the least amount of rain that week, so it all worked out! Since we only had our day packs, the 11+ mile hike wasn't bad. I didn't realize just how "wild" the U.P. is!

[@RichW]

I did that hike last year. Did it from the other direction. It was the longest day hike I've ever done. With so many beautiful views, you don't realize you're walked that far. You took some amazing footage in this video. Love it! HOPE YOU GET A CHANCE TO DO THE KAYAK TOUR. SO MUCH FUN.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thanks! It's a fairly easy hike, and all the views made it fly by.

[@benthekayaker]

Great job shooting this. We kayaked it mostly in 2022 on our own with our sea kayaks. It was unreal. But your video really shows the lake in conditions if you go out the wrong time on the water you could be totally screwed. Lol. A few people per year have to sky lifted out by coast guard. If they get to you in time in the cold water. We cautiously studied what day to go and lucked out and it was still pumping and swelling. Lake Superior is gorgeous. Thanks for your video as we want to also hike there too. Such great imagery you captured. Great job guys!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thank you! I know kayaking along those shores would be an amazing experience, but probably not the day we were there, LOL. I'd love to backpack the entire 42 mile length of the North Country Trail through the park, maybe someday!

[@bser2293]

I think after watching your video I need to visit there again. It was around 1968 when I was there last 😳

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Yep, time to go back! Haha. Lots to explore!

[@simonah2148]

I really enjoyed your video. Beautiful scenery! And that eagle 🦅 ❤, awesome! Do you cary bear spray ? Thank you for sharing!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thanks! Normally in black bear territory, I don't worry about bear spray, BUT this time I did have it with me, as I've been told about some problem bears in that area. We didn't see any on this day though, just some dear and an eagle!

[@ShawKneeee]

We are thinking of going there next month. Do you know the best road for a cat to get to the campground?

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

I just followed Google Maps, which isn't always reliable!
