Come along on a fall hike with us

Susan, Dash Riprock and I went for a hike today. Within a two hour drive we have 100's and 100's of miles of trails to choose from. Rather than get in the car and drive to a trail today, we walked out our back door, walked the road uphill for one mile where accessed the Superior Hiking Trail. The trail traverses the ridge line above Duluth, Minnesota.

Imagine walking with us on a gorgeous fall day. The colors are at peak, the sun is bright as it filters through the canopy of colored leaves. We walk through a mature hardwood forest on top of the ridge before coming out onto the open ridge line where you can see our neighborhood below, across the St Louis River into Wisconsin, and the city of Duluth in the distance on the shore of Lake Superior.

We should stay close to home more often. Hard to believe we can do a hike like this right in the city.
