Description

“Autumn Trail Along the Cut River” captures the serene beauty of Cut River Park in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where a peaceful hiking path winds alongside the Cut River beneath a canopy of early fall color. This landscape photograph, taken during an autumn hike, showcases the quiet transition between seasons—where green leaves still cling to summer, while golden tones begin to blanket the forest.

As I walked this trail, the crisp air carried the sound of water gently tumbling over rocks, accompanied by the rhythmic crunch of fallen leaves underfoot. This moment of stillness and reflection reminded me why the Upper Peninsula is a treasure trove of unspoiled wilderness.

Located off U.S. Highway 2, Cut River Park is known for its scenic Cut River Bridge, a 147-foot steel cantilever bridge offering sweeping views of Lake Michigan, thick forests, and dramatic river valleys below. The trail system below the bridge leads into the forest, revealing hidden creeks, quiet glades, and a vibrant display of fall foliage.
