One of the things I've embraced in life is that you can always learn something new. Even on a subject you might think you are pretty knowledgeable about. Every instructor and classmate lends something to your skill set because each has their own strength and passion they bring to sharing their abilities.
As we listened to the rain falling outside, I pulled out the park map to decide on which route is take for my next day’s hike. The last time I’d been to the park, I’d hiked part, but not all of the Hiking Club trail that passes the cabins and campground before it circles west. I decided I’d hike the combination of the Woodland Edge and Wetland trails.
It was almost a year to the day that I tried to track down my friend and fellow hiker the Wandering Pine as she started on her attempt at thru-hiking the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) in one five week blast.
#44Hike of my 52 Hike Challenge: I realized that I had one more park on the North Shore yet to complete - Grand Portage State Park.
This part of Minnesota is special to us hikers because it holds so many hiking options: more than 12 State Park and Waysides, the Superior Hiking Trail and the North Shore Trail are just a few. The only challenge is picking one for a day hike. They all have something special to offer.
