Heading Up North this Fall?! 🍁 Skip the crowds Heading Up North this Fall?! 🍁 Skip the crowds in Lutsen and head further north to Grand Portage for this incredible viewpoint - no hiking required! 🥾 (I do think Lutsen is worth a stop too - I just love the peacefulness of this area)

📍Susie Islands Overlook provides a view of Minnesota, Canada and even Wisconsin and Michigan on a clear day!

🌲 PS if you’re looking for more of a challenge, do the Mt Josephine hike which is the mountain shown on the right side - it’s short but strenuous and an incredible experience

Do you agree? 🤔 I love hiking everywhere we tra Do you agree? 🤔 I love hiking everywhere we travel and have so many favorite hikes but this one in📍Acadia National Park is one of the most fun 🥾

🌲 At just 1.5 miles long and less than 600 ft of elevation gain, The Beehive Loop is a great hike. It’s rated as challenging as there are some steep and technical parts and drop offs but it felt less scary than it looks on camera 

🍁 The best time to visit is October when the leaves are starting to turn. How gorgeous is the foliage here?!

🚘 We visited Acadia as part of a New England 9 Day road trip. Let me know or you want other Fall hike Must dos in the area

Is this the most magical Fall Urban hike in the Tw Is this the most magical Fall Urban hike in the Twin Cities?! 🍁 I loved hiking along📍Winchell Trail in Minneapolis last fall and in a few weeks time it will look similar to this video 🍂 

🥾 Sat along the Mississippi River, there are great water views, stunning foliage and beautiful stone walls, bridges and stairs built in the 1930’s 🪨 The trail is mostly unpaved and can be as long as 5.4 miles out and back or as short as you want to make it!

Who would you hike here with?!

Heading Up North for Fall colors?! 🍁 This under Heading Up North for Fall colors?! 🍁 This underrated (and therefore less busy!) state park just under 30 minutes from Duluth Minnesota should be on your list! It has gorgeous waterfalls, stunning colors and great hikes🌲📍Pattison State Park

🥾 Check out the various hiking trails. My favorites are Big Manitou Falls trail and Little Manitou Falls trail which are both about 1 mile

💦 Check out the waterfalls! You can see them by hiking. If you’re short on time, there is a parking lot by Little Manitou Falls so you don’t have to walk very far. The main parking area and park office is near Big Manitou Falls 

🎫 A daily or annual pass is required to enter

💧 Enjoy views by Interfalls Lake

🏕️ There are campgrounds available too
