Looking to put up some first ascents this winter?  I just spent several hours on the couch checking out Michel Neiger’s latest work- Exploring Pictured Rocks West Side, which reveals hundreds of caves throughout the park and possible first ascents for those willing to explore.   If your planning a trip to visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore anytime of the year, then this guide is a must!  “Exploring Pictured Rocks” is an 8.5″ by 11″ full-color heavily-annotated map guide to the PRNL, which is located along the south shore of Lake Superior, near Munising, Michigan. The map guide relies on full-size, full-color, 1:24,000-scale, US Geological Survey quadrangles to show the location of trails, campsites, beaches, overlooks, old growth, waterfalls, historic sites, caves, & shipwrecks. Each feature is described according to name, dimension, physical distance from other features, GPS coordinates, elevation, etc. Historical info is also included. Developed by our friend Michael- who explored every inch of this park, this is the most detailed information on PRNL ever produced!    $19.95
