North Shore Part 3

Our last stop for the day was George Crosby Manitou state park!  I had not crossed this one off my list yet so we made the venture out there.  It involved some dirt road driving!  This park is definitely off the beaten path.  :)

This park is a "wilderness" park with only backpack sites.  The Superior hiking trail goes through it and a lot of backpack hikers/campers use this spot as a starting point. 

Parts of the trail were a bit rocky! Haha!

By the time we were done with that last hike we were all tuckered out.  We headed back to our camp at Tettegouche and had some good ol' brats and beans for supper and spent the night relaxing around the campfire :)  We got packed up and headed out the next morning for home.  It was a lovely little get away, and I always like to say that one doesn't have to be super far from home to have a good adventure!

We woke up at a good time the next morning (June 5th) and started out our day with a walk up Shovel Point.    Nothing like some steps to get one going in the morning! :)

It was a cool and foggy morning.

 

After our first hike of the day we went back to camp and were rewarded with eggs, bacon, and coffee!  It was worth it :)

After breakfast we drove up to Cascade State Park and enjoyed a nice little hike to the falls and by the river.

It was fun being able to walk so close to the river.

Next we stopped at Temperance River State Park

We walked along the gorge and then continued up on the Superior Hiking trail along the river.

This was one of my favorite trails I think that we did, you were right by Temperance River the whole time.
