Grinnell Memorial Nature Sanctuary at Bare Bluff is one of the most spectacular vistas in the Keweenaw. This most difficult trail has been improved. Take a three-mile hike along the base of this beautiful rhyolite formation then up a natural fault to the top, where the stunted forest opens to spectacular balds with a southeatern view down the Keweenaw to the point. Allow three hours for this challenging adventure.From US-41 take the Lac La Belle Road 4.7 miles to the bottom of the steep hill in Lac La Belle. Turn left and continue 2.8 miles to Smith Fishery Road on the left. Then travel 2.4 miles to the MNA parking area to the right as the road turns left.The trail is in a Michigan Nature Association Sanctuary. Foot traffic only is allowed in Michigan Nature Association sanctuaries. Please, no pets, no mechanized vehicles, no fires, no camping & carry out everything you carry in.
