Superior Hiking Trail, Silver Bay to HWY 1, Tettegouche State
June 2016, A solo hike starting in Silver Bay to Kennedy Creek campsite and back to HWY 1, about 16 miles. Bean Bear Lake, MT Trudee, the drain pipe, Tettegouche State Park, the suspension bridge over the big falls. I started out with a 2.4 mile night hike.
Tettegouche State Park - MN - March 2019
Tettegouche State Park is right outside of Silver Bay. 3 1/2 hours north of Minneapolis. Tettegouche State Park is one of the most frequently visited parks in MN. There are plenty of Hiking trails and in the winter SnowShoeing, Skiing, and Snomobiling trails. This is a favorite spot for climbers both in the summer and winter.
The visitor center is nestled by the Baptism river. The visitor center is impressive to say the least. It has excellent restrooms, a large open resting area with a warm fireplace, a gift shop, and rentals for gear. Our Ranger was extremely friendly and helpful in explaining the park. She was knowledgable about the hikes and the area, that is not always the case when I talk with Rangers.
We took a day hike to the High Falls. The trail was mostly empty except for a few photographers looking for bears and some ice climbers looking for ice. We didn't find any ice or any bears to say the least. The Falls were covered in these large snow drifts. The suspension bridge was fun to hike across as well. We all agreed that the hike into the falls was one of our favorite parts of the trip.
After the hike we loaded up the pulks and headed into Campsite E at Tettegouche. If you do not know what Campsite E is, it is the most popular site at the Park. Booked from the minute it gets warm all the way until it gets cold. All throughout the week. That site barely gets a day off. In fact, there were people already booked starting at the site the weekend after we were there. E and F are popular, try for E when you go.
It is an amazing site that overlooks lake superior by the Baptism river. Once of the best Cart-In sites I have seen. Good Luck getting it during the summer though. The wind was really bad in the evening, but seeing the ice sheets pushed across the lake and hearing the crunching of the ice made it worth it. In the morning we awoke to a stillness in the air. The whole reason I enjoy winter camping is those quiet mornings with a light snowfall. Waking up at that site and having the slight snowfall was perfect. Despite the terrible wind the night before the morning made up for it. This was one of my favorite winter trips. I'd go back, if I can get a reservation for the site. Thanks for watching.

Tettegouche State Park (near Silver Bay, MN)
Visit by twin sisters to Tettegouche State Park on the shore of Lake Superior near Silver Bay, Minnesota, including a hike onto Shovel Point with a view of the rock stack that used to be an arch and a walk down to the rocky shoreline.
Tettegouche State Park - MN - December 2019
We revisited Tettegouche State Park to see a different cart in Site. Originally we were going to hike and stay on the SHT near Oberg Mountain but the temperature and daylight were dropping fast. Oberg Mountain is near Lutsen and the trail is well groomed. For Skiing or snowshoeing if you prefer.
Most trails surrounding the SHT will be groomed, but as you hike further in you will find that the SHT itself is not well traveled. We decided to be safe and not push our luck with negative temperatures and just hike into a cart in site.
The Cart In Sites started off on a snowmobile trail for a little bit and then were just deep snow. Luckily we had snow shoes. Our favorite site from earlier in the year has been destroyed by the waves and the wind blowing ice and snow over the trees. So much destruction we barely recognized it. We were warned not to stay there as the wind can pick up at anytime and spray water from the lake over the site.
Overall the trip was a success, despite the bone chilling cold. We were hoping to have a warm weekend, seems like we picked the only cold weekend of December for this trip sadly.
After sleeping outside every month for three years I decided I am going take a little break. I will still make videos of my adventures scouting new parks and camping. Just may not go out in the cold as much. Need to play it safe, I want to keep all ten fingers and ten toes.
As always, thanks for watching.

Grand Marais, Minnesota. North Shore Lake Superior
Grand Marais is a city in Cook County, Minnesota, United States.
Grand Marais is French for Great Marsh, referring to a marsh, which in early fur-trading times was 20 acres (8.1 ha) or less in area, nearly at the level of Lake Superior, and situated at the head of the little bay and harbor that led to the settlement of the village there. Another small bay on the east, less protected from storms, is separated from the harbor by a slight projecting point and a short beach.
Grand Marais is located on the northwestern shore of Lake Superior in northeastern Minnesota, and is an entry point for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, being at the beginning of the Gunflint Trail. The Superior Hiking Trail passes near Grand Marais and Judge C. R. Magney State Park is nearby with the peculiar Devil's Kettle waterfalls.
Road access to Grand Marais is by Minnesota Highway 61, which heads northeast following the shore of Lake Superior and is known as the North Shore Scenic Drive. The Gunflint Trail (Cook County Road 12) begins in Grand Marais and heads northwest away from the lake and into the Boundary Waters region.
Grand Marais is located 110 miles northeast of Duluth; and 40 miles southwest of the U.S.–Canadian border.
