Gunflint Trail - Minnesota

This video is about a trip my wife and I took in October of 2020. We traveled up the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. We made stops in Silver Bay, MN and Grand Marais, MN. We hiked several local trails and camped at the Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground. Trails hiked were;
The Caribou Rock Trail
The Moss Lake Trail
The South Lake Trail and
The Moss Lake Trail.
We camp in a 2013 Forest River Sunseeker.

I miss all the fun climbing stairway portage fully loaded with gear but the views over looking Rose Lake is still my favorite place to sit and enjoy the sound of the wild

Grand Marais and the gunflint are my favorite places on the planet

My first trip to the Gunflint was in 1985 and I have gone there every year, with the exception of 2 years, since then. There have been a couple of years that we have gone twice within the same year. My wife and I have been there in the summer, fall and winter. My wife and I were married on top of Honeymoon Bluff and go to Honeymoon Bluff every year on our anniversary date. I'm now 80 years old and every year the hiking takes more of a toll on me, but we will continue to go to Honeymoon Bluff each year until I am unable to get to the top. Hungry Jack Lodge is where we always stay all of the time. I started out staying in the campground at HJ and using HJ as a base camp and do multiple day canoe camping trips from there. We have graduated to staying in a cabin many years ago. As I have aged we not longer do multi-day canoe camping in the area, but instead canoe different lakes in the area for only a day and return to our cabin each evening. Great people at Hungry Jack lodge and because we are "regulars" they consider us almost as though we are family. IMO, when God created this world he did some of his best work in the Gunflint Trail area of MN. Thanks for the great video.

When I'm reminded of all God's beauty I've seen in Minnesota, I get all weepy.

My first introduction to the Gunflint Trail was through Justine Kerfoot’s book, Woman of the Boundary Waters! Beautiful video

We’re from Thunder Bay and miss our occasional venture into Minnesota! Grand Marais, “We miss you!” Take care! Until we meet again, after Covid.... for now, we hike in our area, which has the same beautiful scenery. We miss our neighbours to the South. Thank you for this video. We are looking forward to hiking the Gunflint trail.

A canoe is the way to see it at that time of year. Before ice in, and just after ice out, is unreal. On the Gunflint about half way up he trail is Trail Center.....stop for a burger over looking Poplar Lake, and stop in at the the Ugly Baby Bait shop. It's a trip!
