That is pretty cool that people in the Midwest who are far from the ocean, can at least drive to the Great Lakes and places like this and get that same experience. It really does look like the Oregon coast.
Minnesota…Land of 1,000 Surprises! Totally blown away(no pun intended) by those magnificent ocean-like views with those sheer cliffs & the pounding waves! 🌊 I need a print of that deer you photographed in the woods enveloped by the beautiful colors of the leaves on the trees & bushes!😱 The lighthouse, the lakes, the falls! So much splendor! Thanks so much for allowing us to tag along! 🥰 Stay safe. Hugs for Kona.❤️
I moved from southern Minnesota to Arizona about a year ago. Watching this series, you two have made me miss Minnesota so much. I miss the beauty of the state so much.
When you drive an hour for pie and spend the day hiking 1,000 stairs multiple pieces of pie is definitely the way to go! I’m now so much smarter about Minnesota - thanks for sharing!
Great video. Loved that Tettegouche and the Northshore are getting some respect and love from dome outdoor enthusiasts. I highly recommend the Northshore in the spring when the waterfalls are flowing at full power. Insanel powerful forces of nature to see up close.
I'm from Kansas, and I first visited the north shore in the fall of 2020. It was incredible...maybe the best trip of my life. I'm glad you guys got to see a little bit of the yellows in the trees, but like you alluded to, it's just jaw-dropping in the fall, and I hope you can go back then. Thank you for these great videos. I just stumbled upon your Kansas one, which was spectacular. Our state travel and tourism department should pay you for your doing such a great job promoting our state! Happy Travels!
I love watching these videos. I’m from the cities but spent all of my summers as a kid up in northern Minnesota where my grandmother and other relatives lived. There’s so much to see and do there! So glad to see you both enjoy it so much.
I came across your channel a few weeks back and have loved this series. You all capture the beauty of the upper midwest so well -- excited to see what you all find in Wisconsin. Lived there for two years and still have a long, long list of things I never got to see!
I went to the North Shore for the first time last year and loved it. I went in the 3rd week of September and autumn was peaking. They have their fall a bit earlier than most of the country. It was so gorgeous AND I got to see the Northern Lights!
I love your videos, I’ve lived on the North Shore for 60+ years and it is absolutely beautiful so when you’re up here again you missed out on a lot look me up I’m in the phonebook and I can show you more beautiful spots that most people don’t even know about, as far as your pie my mom knew Betty and we would stop there often when I was a little girl. Kayaking on Lake superior when it is calm is absolutely fantastic there are all kinds of caves ,tunnels and rocks that you can go into and it’s just breathtaking. Thank you for your video.
Yes there’s a lot we missed, but only had a few days. So many things to see so little time. Oh wow! That is very neat to have known Betty! We’d love to kayak on the lake sometime as well! Thank you and thanks for watching!
These might be fighting words, but in this Minnesotan’s opinion, The Rustic Inn’s pie is WAY better than Betty’s Pies! 🥧 😅 I love how much you are enjoying Minnesota. You have hit so many of my favorite places along the north shore! Thanks for hyping Minnesota so much and showing people that it’s not just corn fields and snow!
yessssss fall is starting in the north shore! we did the bean and bear lake loop last year and it was BEAUTIFUL! the hike through the trees were just as enjoyable as the views on the top. definitely come back during the fall too!
You have to come back in the Fall to this area. End of Sept and first week of Oct are traditionally the best times to see the colors. It varies each year. So check out the MN state Fall colors guide to see when it's best.. As for the black beach. I used to work in the iron ore mines 70 miles from there in the late 70,s early 80s. That is actually called taconite tailings, the residue from when the iron ore pellets are made. They used to get pumped out into the lake as waste product before they were forced to stop that around that time. Now they have found uses for those tailings in construction and also in road repairs. They have value instead of waste.
I loved the video. I attend a family reunion each summer near Minneapolis and afterwards try to sneak off to the North Shore for a few days. I've visited most of the state parks and hiked the trails and viewed the waterfalls. It is absolutely beautiful and I never get bored. And Betty's pies are the best.
That was a great representation of some of my favorite places in Minnesota!! Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I am glad you made it in August verses the dead of winter when it is not quite as enjoyable (unless you are a hard core winter outdoor enthusiast)!
Thank you for sharing more adventures along the North Shore! Glad you enjoyed it! It’s truly one of my favorite places in the world and I feel so so lucky to live just a few hours south!!💙🌲
All those Minnesota views were so GORGEOUS…growing up with Lake Michigan very close…I got a good taste of it being like the ocean and having huge waves at times! Lake Superior’s color looks so much prettier than I remember Lake Michigan ever looking. I loved seeing Konie Bear going after the stick in the water! Seeing the frog in the water was pretty cool not to mention the cool shot of the deer! Was that a yellow and orange mushroom…that was so cool looking! Another great showing of yet another place I’ve never been! 😂 Great job!
Your videos are so well built and informative., while not appearing just factual but entertaining at the same time. I love that you included the funny wind hair blowing segment. You two seem to be the perfect match for the job you're doing.👍👍🙋♂️
I can’t believe how incredible each and everyone of your videos have been. We went to Minnesota’s North shore and even took a day cruise on Lake Superior in this area. We never saw half these places. Not only do you bring us to wonderful spots but you also make us remember the ones we saw.
Wow you guys did a lot in one day! Minnesota looks pretty awesome, we've never been! And I definitely need to get me some of that Butterfinger pie, I'm going to be dreaming about that...
Can't tell you how much fun is watching you discover and fall in love with Minnesota. I've said it before but the joy you show on camera is contagious. Pebble Beach there by Split Rock is my kids favorites spots. The rocks there are just awesome and they could play there for hours. You really captured the area well and packed a ton in for 1 day. Cannot wait to see your take on Duluth...my wife's college town and where I lived for awhile. Hope all is well!
Thank you for the kind words Nate! We truly loved it so much, we couldn’t stop freaking out about how beautiful it was! 😍 And Duluth was a great time, even with the weather being not so pretty haha
Such beautiful views! We've never been in this part of MN, but definitely would like to check it out. Love the lakes and waterfalls! Kathryn clearly loves all the steps back up! You are commended for only getting 2... or 3.... slices of pie... I would have gotten 2 WHOLE pies!
Husband and I stumbled onto your vlogs and have been addicted ever since! We relate to y’all in so many ways that we just laugh and look at each other and say well of course they would like that too! A few examples, our first vacation was to Austin- hiking, walked around Lady Bird in the morning with our dog and coffees, and of course BBQ! We had a make your own taco/nacho bar as the entree for our wedding with a s’mores table (our favorite is wit a peanut butter cup). Every year we drive to another national park and hike, kayak, and chase waterfalls. I could go on and on- lol! Keep up the fun vlogs! I don’t know if it is on your radar but Shawnee National Forest is unexpected and unlike the other types of hikes you have been on so far- I think you both would love it!
Y’all sound like our kind of people! We had make your own fajitas at our wedding! The s’mores idea sounds amazing too! We are all about those Reese’s 😍😍 And we really need to spend time in IL! We have been to Chicago many times because of family close by, but no other areas!
@@AdventuresofAplusK We live in Baton Rouge but went on a trip up to Shawnee and was blown away because driving up to it you don’t see the mountains because they are below sea level. They were formed when the ice melted leaving massive canyons and rock formations. Acadia is our favorite that we have been to together so far but I knew you would know about it 😁
We loved your video! That part of Minnesota surely looks like a real Gem! 💎 Seeing those pies from Betty's and how much you guys enjoyed them made Mike & I want to visits that place and try them out for ourselves! And how cool that you were given an extra slice! I think that kindness you two experienced is what is known in that state as "Minnesota Nice." Thanks for another AWESOME video!! 👍
Amazing spot with those frogs 🐸 and as always, really appreciated the deer footage 🦌❤️. The waves crashing into those caves along the shore was amazing but also, seeing how far you guys were from that, I'm very jealous of whatever telephoto lens you must have! Crazy to see the leaves turning already out there, for us it's never as early as August! I really hope your change of plans were for something fun or exciting as I picked up on there not being a video on Monday or yesterday... the tables were turning and I was started to worry about YOU guys!!! ❤️
Thanks for the kind words on the shots! We actually don’t even have that great of a zoom lens, we’d love a legit telephoto, but my arm hurts thinking about how heavy it is! Unfortunately the change of plans was just needing to work more haha, we’re moving wayyyyy too fast and it’s catching up to us big time, but we have a two week break coming soon (just from traveling and filming, not from posting)! Now we’re even on the worrying 😉❤️
Beautifully done videos by you guys. So great to see some spots that I'm very familiar with and some that I'm not. Drought in Minnesota has caused some premature leaf change. You really need to come back in Sunny weather when everything will look even more spectacular! When the sky is blue the water looks just awesome. Looks like you skipped over Cascade River and Temperance River state parks. Both are beautiful, in fact Temperance ismy favorite river on the North Shore.
@@AdventuresofAplusK The ridges peak in late September with the maples and it is just spectacular. Along the shore you will see all yellow birches and Aspen 1st or 2nd week of October! Where are u from? I am curious since u started at the Canadian border!
Thank you so much for posting these vlogs! I just visited Duluth this weekend and this video and your Canal Park video were perfect for reliving my trip. Your videos are not only fun to watch but also professional in appearance. Subscribed!
Awesome series on Minnesota’s North Shore. I will let this comment speak for all the videos. As always, excellent job on the whole production. Great trails, great food, great filming, and great information. I haven’t been to the North Shore area, only the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota. This area really gives me vibes of Maine’s coast. I knew there were some neat waterfalls up in this region but I wasn’t expecting it to be so hilly. What a gorgeous area! If and when I get up Voyageurs, I will definitely add some time on for the North Shore. Thanks for sharing!
We can see the similarities with Maine! The North Shore was spectacular! So much to see and do. Tons of waterfalls, hikes, little towns. A+ area for sure! We were bummed to not be able to do Voyageurs! One day!
We didn't make to Tettegouche but I did hike the Gooseberry Falls and they were beautiful. So glad you got to try Betty's. The hikes were beautiful as usual. So enjoy being able to see them.
If you haven't been back yet to do Isle Royale, I suggest you do it. It is a breathtaking experience. Me and my church youth group did 3 nights there. Saw my first Moose there. It was 20 feet next to the walking path at home base. The most incredible nature experience ever happened on that Isle. Please go. But forewarned that there is a good chance of running into a bear. So always use the bear boxes on the isle.
Isle Royale is definitely high on our list to do when we’re back in the area! It’s just logistically tough and expensive to get to right now with our dog. Thanks for the tips!
Black beach was owned by the CLIF mining company and was closed to the public for a couple years. Finally with an agreement with the city they opened it up, but also made it more accessible to the average tourist…. It was very remote for years!
So glad you enjoyed the North Shore!! It is definitely Minnesota's gem! We live in the Twin Cities and get to the North Shore and Duluth at least once a year! Safe travels! 😊
You guys had a big day with the hikes, the beach, and Split Rock. Next time you come through the state you need to check out the big open pit iron ore mines around Hibbing. PS. I think Kona likes Minnesota.
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thank you!! I plan on hiking it southbound from the high falls at the Canadian border all the way to Duluth MN!! Roughly 300+ miles! I'm excited!!
It's too bad we can't like more than once, if we watch a second time, it would b nice if we could like again, some of urs I watched several times, I do other things while watching so I c new things each time! God bless!
Hello Adventurers😊😊😊, you went to Betty's Pies and, you made it to Split Rock Lighthouse State Park! I'm so thrilled that you were able to explore all of Minnesota's north shore. You are going to love Duluth and all of its great restaurants. Check out the Aerial Lift Bridge while your in Duluth. Great video👍👍👍👍!
The Great Lakes offer such hidden treasures, don’t they? Your hikes along superior remind of me of some of the lesser known areas along Lake Ontario with the jagged cliffs and crashing waves. I’ve always wanted to see Superior and hope to make it someday. Also: those pies!
Shhhhhh, don’t tell everyone how beautiful our state is 😉 Next time on the north shore, spend the money and go into split rock lighthouse, it’s worth every penny !!! You can go all the way up to the lenses and you can tour the keepers home, the history is just amazing !

Thank you!
That is pretty cool that people in the Midwest who are far from the ocean, can at least drive to the Great Lakes and places like this and get that same experience. It really does look like the Oregon coast.
We loved the great lakes! Especially because they are fresh water…no salty skin after you get out!
I never pictured Minnesota looking like this. Just amazing. Adding this to my bucket list. Great vlog guys!
We didn’t either! Truly a gem in the US!
Shhh! 🤫 Don’t tell anyone else😆
We like to keep it a secret! Lol
We believe the beauty of the US should be shared, as long as people are responsible (which unfortunately is a big ask sometimes)
Wait, how did you picture MN? I thought everyone pictured MN like this.
Minnesota…Land of 1,000 Surprises! Totally blown away(no pun intended) by those magnificent ocean-like views with those sheer cliffs & the pounding waves! 🌊 I need a print of that deer you photographed in the woods enveloped by the beautiful colors of the leaves on the trees & bushes!😱 The lighthouse, the lakes, the falls!

What a move! We loved Minnesota!
When you drive an hour for pie and spend the day hiking 1,000 stairs multiple pieces of pie is definitely the way to go! I’m now so much smarter about Minnesota - thanks for sharing!
We totally deserved all 3 slices! 😉
Betty's Pies!!!! I'm loving these videos of my home state ❤
We are so happy you’re enjoying them!

We really loved the north shore! One of our favorite places we have been to! Would love to see it in the spring 😄

Sooo much to do! We loved it so much!
My husband and I got engaged last fall at Beaver River Falls, by Palisade Head and Black Beach! It was amazing. We love the North Shore ❤️❤️
That is incredible! 😍
Minnesota, the entire upper midwest are national gems.
We totally agree!
Quick note: Oberg Loop during the fall is the best easiest loop on the north shore to get the different forest views and also the lake in one stop.
I came across your channel a few weeks back and have loved this series. You all capture the beauty of the upper midwest so well -- excited to see what you all find in Wisconsin. Lived there for two years and still have a long, long list of things I never got to see!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We missed a ton in Wisconsin, but loved the experiences we were able to have!
I went to the North Shore for the first time last year and loved it. I went in the 3rd week of September and autumn was peaking. They have their fall a bit earlier than most of the country. It was so gorgeous AND I got to see the Northern Lights!
How amazing!!! We wanted to see the northern lights, but the forecast for them wasn’t too promising 😫
We went on the last week of July for the first time and it was cold lol I was surprised but boy it’s beuatiful
Great Lakes crunch, my favorite every time!! Love the video guys. We love it up there. North shore is a jewel to hike!
“The land of 10,000 steps” 🤣
Such a beautiful, busy day (you guys are amazing with how much you do in one day!)
Hahaha we really need to slow down 😅
The color of the water is amazing. Minnesota, who knew.
That blue is 😍😍😍
You need to see it on a sunny day. Sparkles like a diamond!
Love the rootbeer dark, tannin filled waterfalls of the Northwoods. Keep them coming!
Mmmm root beer! 😋
Lake Superior always reminds us of the Gordon Lightfoot song singing "On the great lake they call Gitchee Gumee" 🎸 🎶 The great lakes are so pretty!
They are sooo beautiful! Very excited to share more of them!
That’s funny! I’ve been sailing in the Apostle Islands in the past while that song was playing, as well as the Edmund Fitzgerald song!
@@deannazampa5286 That is the song. 🙂
Wow! That’s a beautiful state! We lived in Michigan for almost 2 years and those Great Lakes are amazing!
We love the Great Lakes!
Love the video!! Minnesota is beautiful ❤️
It is a gorgeous state!
Wow! An another amazing video!! The beauty of the Minnesota captured so well and so wonderfully!! Thanks!!!
We loved filming Minnesota!
We enjoyed Split Rock Lighthouse, too! The plant/moss/fungi was beautiful with the yellows and oranges!
We randomly saw that and thought it was the coolest looking thing!
Bean and bear lake look so beautiful! After all those hikes pie haven 🥧😇 what a way to enjoy the day
It was the best day!

Hahaha we acknowledge this in the next video 😉
Their angel pies are the best!!!! Love the rustic inn!!!!
Absolutely
yessssss fall is starting in the north shore! we did the bean and bear lake loop last year and it was BEAUTIFUL! the hike through the trees were just as enjoyable as the views on the top. definitely come back during the fall too!
We really want to visit in the fall next time!
I can imagine that area with fall colors and I bet it's gorgeous!
Long hikes rewarded with Betty's Pies.....that's a great day !
It sure is!
You have to come back in the Fall to this area. End of Sept and first week of Oct are traditionally the best times to see the colors. It varies each year. So check out the MN state Fall colors guide to see when it's best.. As for the black beach. I used to work in the iron ore mines 70 miles from there in the late 70,s early 80s.

Awesome adventure looks like a blast. Great waterfalls band scenery.🤙
So glad you enjoyed the views!
Another great video. I love following your adventures. Can't wait to see where you go next.
Excited to share what we have been up to! We have been filming tons!
Finally caught up to you guys! Man this was fun! These latest vlogs have been so jam packed full of awesomeness…just the way I like it!
Yay! So happy you've enjoyed them Brad!
Life long Minnesotan here.. I am so happy to see you two enjoying my favorite places in the whole world along the North Shore!
The North Shore is so incredible! We can't wait to visit again!
I used to live in MN, and remember going to Bettys Pies after split rock lighthouse. You hit a lot of good spots in one day!
It was a great day! Very busy, but beautiful!
That was a great representation of some of my favorite places in Minnesota!! Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I am glad you made it in August verses the dead of winter when it is not quite as enjoyable (unless you are a hard core winter outdoor enthusiast)!
We wouldn’t survive winter up there haha
It's awesome 👍
Excellent Footage👍 Your Vids Are So Interesting 😀 🇺🇸
Thanks a bunch for watching!
Great videos of the North Shore. By far the best places in Minnesota!
We loved it up there so much!
Yes I love this area!! And Betty’s!!
It’s so crazy beautiful!
Thank you for sharing more adventures along the North Shore! Glad you enjoyed it! It’s truly one of my favorite places in the world and I feel so so lucky to live just a few hours south!!💙🌲
It is incredible up there! 😍

Chicken of the woods was that fungi
Ahhh home! Exciting to see you guys here.! Nothing like Lake Superior
We ❤️ Lake Superior!
Are you guys going to the UP of Michigan?
We did already! Loved it!

That was a jam packed day!!! Thanks for sharing; it was gorgeous! I’m with you, MN is moving up on my list!!
MN is SO gorgeous! We loved it!
Excellent video. Loved those Superior waves. Looking forward as always to your next installment.
We loved those waves!
That deer saying what u doin in my hood hahahahaha

Hahaha we could’ve easily eaten full pies…SO GOOD!
The pies are good. But Lake Superior and her rugged shore and our waterfalls are by far better than pie😊⚓
Was just at Palisade Head and Black Beach last weekend. My wife and I go up to the North Shore every year. Love it up there!
It’s amazing up there! 😍
Thanks for showing so much nature.
You two do great in capturing the beauty!
Thank you so much!

That sounds like a blast!
@@AdventuresofAplusKLutsen burned to the ground last year.
Wonderful👍
❤️❤️
Beautifully done videos by you guys. So great to see some spots that I'm very familiar with and some that I'm not.
Drought in Minnesota has caused some premature leaf change. You really need to come back in Sunny weather when everything will look even more spectacular! When the sky is blue the water looks just awesome.
Looks like you skipped over Cascade River and Temperance River state parks. Both are beautiful, in fact Temperance ismy favorite river on the North Shore.
We were curious if the leaf change was normal and if not, what causes it!
@@AdventuresofAplusK The ridges peak in late September with the maples and it is just spectacular.
Along the shore you will see all yellow birches and Aspen 1st or 2nd week of October!
Where are u from? I am curious since u started at the Canadian border!
Your vlog is a blast! You packed a lot in one day. By the end one could tell you had a long but enjoyable day. Kono must have slept well that night.
It was a very busy day! We were all so pooped!
The North shore is my happy place! Especially in July/August when it’s hot everywhere else!
What a gem the North Shore is! We are so excited to explore it more one day!
Thank you so much for posting these vlogs! I just visited Duluth this weekend and this video and your Canal Park video were perfect for reliving my trip. Your videos are not only fun to watch but also professional in appearance. Subscribed!
Thank you so much Ryan! We really appreciate it!
Awesome series on Minnesota’s North Shore. I will let this comment speak for all the videos. As always, excellent job on the whole production. Great trails, great food, great filming, and great information.
I haven’t been to the North Shore area, only the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota. This area really gives me vibes of Maine’s coast. I knew there were some neat waterfalls up in this region but I wasn’t expecting it to be so hilly. What a gorgeous area! If and when I get up Voyageurs, I will definitely add some time on for the North Shore. Thanks for sharing!
We can see the similarities with Maine! The North Shore was spectacular! So much to see and do. Tons of waterfalls, hikes, little towns. A+ area for sure!
We were bummed to not be able to do Voyageurs! One day!
We didn't make to Tettegouche but I did hike the Gooseberry Falls and they were beautiful. So glad you got to try Betty's. The hikes were beautiful as usual. So enjoy being able to see them.
We hope to make it to gooseberry falls next time!
This was awesome! Reminds me a little bit of Acadia Nat'l Park in Maine!
That makes us extra excited to go there!
If you haven't been back yet to do Isle Royale, I suggest you do it. It is a breathtaking experience. Me and my church youth group did 3 nights there. Saw my first Moose there. It was 20 feet next to the walking path at home base. The most incredible nature experience ever happened on that Isle. Please go. But forewarned that there is a good chance of running into a bear. So always use the bear boxes on the isle.
Isle Royale is definitely high on our list to do when we’re back in the area! It’s just logistically tough and expensive to get to right now with our dog. Thanks for the tips!
I was just up there last weekend. Bear and Bean lake are beautiful with the fall colors.
We bet it's stunning in the fall!
I am going to North Shore Minnesota for the first time next month truly looking forward to it!
So impressed with your video and narration. Very glad I found your take on the north shore. Well done!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Wow wow wow!!!
😍😍😍
Black beach was owned by the CLIF mining company and was closed to the public for a couple years. Finally with an agreement with the city they opened it up, but also made it more accessible to the average tourist…. It was very remote for years!
Thanks for the additional info! Glad that others can visit it now!
Omigosh those pies!!!!😛😱😛😱😛
The third did not surive the night haha
So glad you enjoyed the North Shore!! It is definitely Minnesota's gem! We live in the Twin Cities and get to the North Shore and Duluth at least once a year! Safe travels! 😊
It is such a gem! So wishing it wasn’t so far so we could go more!
I said the same thing about the great lakes to my wife, "it looks like the ocean!"
It totally messes with your head!
Great video. I'm from Minnesota and absolutely love heading up the North Shore. Lake Superior is so special
You got that right! Thanks and thanks for watching!
I have been there I have lived Minnesota my life it is so beautiful there
It’s so beautiful!
Definitely wouldn’t have thought that you were in Minnesota by the looks of that place. We would love to go there one day.
Right?! It was totally not what we would’ve thought! We loved it!
You guys had a big day with the hikes, the beach, and Split Rock. Next time you come through the state you need to check out the big open pit iron ore mines around Hibbing.
PS. I think Kona likes Minnesota.
Ooo thanks for the tip! And Kona is OBSESSED with the lake. She seriously whines if she is near it and can’t go in 😂
I absolutely love the Superior Hiking Trail! I'm planning a through hike September 2022!
That’s amazing! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thank you!! I plan on hiking it southbound from the high falls at the Canadian border all the way to Duluth MN!! Roughly 300+ miles! I'm excited!!
thanks A+K
It's too bad we can't like more than once, if we watch a second time, it would b nice if we could like again, some of urs I watched several times, I do other things while watching so I c new things each time! God bless!
Great video, like always. Love your descriptions and impressions!
Thank you!
Hello Adventurers😊😊😊, you went to Betty's Pies and, you made it to Split Rock Lighthouse State Park! I'm so thrilled that you were able to explore all of Minnesota's north shore. You are going to love Duluth and all of its great restaurants. Check out the Aerial Lift Bridge while your in Duluth. Great video👍👍👍👍!
Hi Al! We really enjoyed Duluth! That video will be out tomorrow and has some tasty food spots!
The Great Lakes offer such hidden treasures, don’t they? Your hikes along superior remind of me of some of the lesser known areas along Lake Ontario with the jagged cliffs and crashing waves. I’ve always wanted to see Superior and hope to make it someday. Also: those pies!
SO many treasures! Looking forward to visiting Lake Ontario someday!
beautiful!!
Minnesota is so gorgeous!
I can't believe you walked up to Palisade Head!👏😎
Great view of Split Rock. We were just up there at the lighthouse, but I’d love to see it from that viewpoint.
We hope to make it to the lighthouse next time!
Shhhhhh, don’t tell everyone how beautiful our state is 😉
Next time on the north shore, spend the money and go into split rock lighthouse, it’s worth every penny !!!
You can go all the way up to the lenses and you can tour the keepers home, the history is just amazing !
We’ll check it out next time! Thanks!
