There's rapid drops over 20 feet tall, respect them. Silver creek is an amazing trout stream, gotta start further up. Stay out of the wrenshall hay fields if you don't like ticks!

Thumbs up your videos great both of you contributed great information. It also hire someone to do rapids trip which was helpful. And yes no I would love to go there in the autumn. I don’t know why we haven’t been there cause I think it’s only two hours and 15 minutes from my house St., North thank you you too good travel videos

Enjoy your videos. I miss new ones from Minnesota but understand with you moving to Colorado. We camped at Jay Cooke Memorial Day weekend 2021. Just curious about where you lived in Minnesota. Someone thought Mankato but I am thinking it might be Little Falls. I was born and raised in New Ulm so I appreciate your husband's choice for the beer in this video. We live in Eau Claire and love camping at Wisconsin State Parks and Forests and occasionally a Minnesota State Park.

Great video! We always drive just past into Duluth and don’t stop for this park but your video has changed my mind! Also, one of our favorite hidden gems in Duluth is the trails along Tischer Creek/Congdon trail. Have you ever done that? Enjoy your fall🍁

[@JeanieMarie]

Definitely stop the next time you are on your way to Duluth-you won't be disappointed! I have not been there yet, but it's on my list! (The list that doesn't end, right ;) Thank you so much for watching! Happy Fall to you! 🍁

How far is the Bridge from the parking lot ? I wonder if the leaves are still popping in mid Oct. I haven't been doing much hiking since i got my permit but definitely I have many parks to check our next yr. Thanks for all the parks vids. Have a wonderful day. I love Fall too my favorite .

[@JeanieMarie]

I think they are still popping this weekend! So you should be able to enjoy then still this weekend. Not sure how far they will be next weekend! Such a short window... gotta catch them when you can. As always, thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it!

[@thielees]

The bridge is 100 yards from the parking lot

Love your videos! What boots do you like for hiking?

[@JeanieMarie]

Thanks so much for watching!! I have two different shoes I like: - Favorite Hiking Boots - Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof: amzn.to/3fB7VRe - Favorite Hiking Shoe - Adidas Terrex: amzn.to/34fAdeG I wear both for different reasons, if I know I'll be walking in possible mud, water or snow. I wear my boots. If i know the trails will be clear I wear my Adidas! :)

I live a mile from here!

Love your videos. But you need to look at the camera lens and not the view screen.

[@JeanieMarie]

Thank you! I'll see what I can do. Easier said than done! 😆

[@NorseRanger]

@@JeanieMarie I'm sure!!!! Appreciate all the work you put into making these videos! We are heading up to Duluth area next weekend for 4 days....any suggestions for a State Park visit for hiking if we can only do one park?

[@JeanieMarie]

@@NorseRanger I would check out Jay Cooke, since it would be on your way to Duluth. It's just outside of Carlton. The other closest state park to Duluth which is further up is Gooseberry State Park. If you plan on going to further up the North Shore I would recommend Tettegouche and hike to Shovel Point and High Falls, but if that is too far then Jay Cooke and Gooseberry will be your closest and best options near Duluth :) Have so much fun!

[@NorseRanger]

@@JeanieMarie Thank you, I will!

[@NorseRanger]

@@JeanieMarie We eneded up going to Tettegouche and Gooseberry! Loved them both! Thanks for the suggestions!

Sounds like you forgot what state you were in. Consuming alcoholic beverages is illegal in all MN state parks (BOOOO!). I believe most rangers will ignore it as long as you are not causing problems. But I'm sure you don't want to encourage others to do something that could cause them problems. Keep the videos coming.

[@JeanieMarie]

You betcha!
