Maybe they've just been beat down like the Uwharrie Mountains of NC;
maximum elevation 1,188 ft. Supposedly 500 million years ago the
Uwharries peaked at over 20,000 ft.
Even though they're worn & stooped over now, they're still "mountains"
the way aging boxing legends are still "The Champ" long after the title
has passed on to younger contenders.

Thanks Eric.
I was under the impression that there were no hills, let alone
mountains, that would offer that in the UP.
Not sure they would qualify as mountains relative to their western
neighbors but the image of Carp River was taken from the Lake of the
Clouds overlook in the Porcupine Wilderness State Park in the western
end of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Its listed altitude is 1375ft,
with Carp River listed at 1076ft.
BTW the highest point in Michigan is Mt. Arvon, also in the western U.
P. is listed as 1979ft.

Thanks Mark. I've shot this view many times but have never bettered
this capture.
I second what everyone else has said: lovely, captivating capture.
Curious about the vantage point, though. I was under the impression
that there were no hills, let alone mountains, that would offer that
in the UP.
