Relaxing on the Superior Hiking Trail
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Less than a week after my grueling hike of the Uinta Highline Trail in Utah, I set out for a laid back, relaxing trip with friends on the Superior Hiking Trail. I start out at George Crosby Manitou State Park and hiking south to Sonju Lake. At Sonju Lake, I met up with my friends Rob Pelton and Jeanelle. The next day we hike to Section 13 and camp. Great weather, laughter, conversation, campfire, incredible views, and good food fill the weekend. We also enjoyed cheering on runners of the Superior 100, a trail race that takes most over 24 hours to complete.

Awesome and relaxing beautiful view!
Looks like a fun hike. My first backpacking trip was Crosby Manitou. Learned alot that trip lol. You don't need as much as I brought😂
Headed up the do the section from the northern terminus to Grand Marais this weekend. Super excited
Good views, good friends and beer! Perfect!!
Great to see you and Rob together again
I participated in a Ouachita Trail cleanup event this past weekend. I car camped at Lake Sylvia. I was there at the same camp spot for three days. It felt super weird sitting and doing nothing while my breakfast reconstituted. I need to practice relaxing. 👈😑🤌
👍👍
Idk how people run that trail lol
Great to see you and Rob together again!! Good to relax with friends!
I was also just up there…the leaves were pretty🍁did some dispersed camping in the Superior National Forest and hit a few BWCA entry points for a couple overnighters…the weather was perfect and NO bugs!
16:05 breathtaking!
Good stuff there, bud. Good to see ya. Cheers.
Awesome Video! It was great to meet you the other day down in SE Minnesota! It was video's like these that inspired me to do the SHT this year! Thank you! Keep up the great work! Win the Day!! Lets go!!!
@@CalmUnderFire1212 Nice meeting you too.
I love sites like Sonjou, but as a solo hiker I usually have skip them because they are always full.
By chance, are you related to the 1st place trail runner that got lost? You both seem to have something in common....lol!!!
I have no idea how they run the SHT as I know my ankles would be broken or sprained!!
Is there a part 2 to this outing as that's when the rest of the superstars show up at Split Rock.
Whoa. I must have missed it--when did you start bear hanging again?
