Pictured Rocks

a series of sandstone cliffs on the southern shore of Lake Superior. They are about 300 feet in height and five miles in length. They are situated forty miles east of Marquette, Michigan. Sculptured rocks would be a more expressive term. The cliffs have been weathered into caves and fantastic forms by winds, frosts, and waterfalls. The rocks are of various colors, including red and yellow. In Longfellow's Hiawatha, the wigwam of Nokomis is located among the pictured rocks.
