I chose to compare two photos of Arch Rock for my slider project because it’s something not many people know about. Arch Rock is located on Mackinac Island, Michigan which is a small island in Michigans Mackinac Straights.
Mackinac Island is a top tourism spot in the USA with over one million visitors each year. Arch Rock is an interesting geological feature of the island, which stands 146 feet over the Lake Huron shoreline.
The natural rock formation has been open to the public’s few for more than a century, but the safety precautions have changed quite a bit. Although in the 1894 photo there are men and women standing on top of Arch Rock, climbing on the structure is strictly prohibited now. That is just one of the major changes that the island state park has made in the past century to preserve the islands history.
Over the years, due to harsh winters the rock formation has changed slightly. Similarly, trees and bushes around the rock have changed since the 1894 photo was taken.
