INSPIRATION POINT PLUS

 There are many Inspiration Points throughout our beautiful country…places that inspire awe and provide exceptional views of natural landscapes.  The closest one to me is just outside Glen Arbor and offers views of the Glen Lakes, Alligator Hill, Manitou Passage, and North Manitou Island.  Faust Log Cabin sits next to Inspiration Point.  Young Mary Faust first experienced the property when the bluff was used as a log slide during the winter.  Taken by the views, she and her husband later purchased the property from Glen Haven entrepreneur, D.H. Day.  The family eventually sold their treasured home to the National Park Service so it would be protected and open to the public.  The Faust Cabin is currently undergoing a multi-year restoration project.  This one’s for you, Steve.
