Great day of hiking up here on Lake Superior!
We followed the Superior Hiking Trail along the Cascade River, with its impressive water falls and lush forests. Not too much wildlife, but lots of lichen, moss, ferns and wildflowers. And water, of course.
These are only a few of the many varieties of mushrooms that grow wild here.
The Angry Trout is always a fine place to stop for lunch. On today's menu: salad with grilled lake trout. And local microbrews, of course.
Someone build this cool rock castle by the Coast Guard station in Grand Marais.
