Vacation - part two


After hiking in Judge CR Magney State Park we stopped in Grand Marais. We walked out to Artist's Point and took in the sights. Amazing geological formations, lighthouse, and the Sawtooth Mountains in the background. We stopped for a tasty meal at The Crooked Spoon Cafe.

On Tuesday we headed out to Tettegouche State Park. Although it was raining a bit, we figured we might as well give it a try. The Baptism River flows through this park and we hiked inland to see High Falls (perhaps the highest waterfall contained entirely in Minnesota). We crossed a suspension bridge over the river and hiked down to the bottom of the falls -- and back up!

Really?
More steps?










Tettegouche Park had other trails along Lake Superior. Watch for the next post that will have pictures of the bluffs. And we saw so many mushrooms, ferns, moss, and berries that we'll have to have one posting just for those pictures!!

  1. Nice pictures again! Looking forward to more. Lisa and I did not make it to any of the places pictured in this post. We did however make it to the highest waterfall in Minnesota. Grand Portage right on the Canadian border.
