Grand Marais Cabin in the Woods

Ahh, sprinter! It's that time of year when it's not completely winter but it's not quite spring and none of us know how to dress! 🩳🧣🌂

For a visit to the Upper Falls, we advise packing ice cleats if you have them. Rangers are spreading sand on slick spots, but the extra traction will go a long way. Other trails are still under 30+ inches of snow, so snowshoes (or cross-country skis) are needed.

Check the weather, dress in layers, be prepared to penguin walk, and we'll see you outside!

Way up north of Newberry the Two Hearted River flows into Lake Superior. A one of a kind suspension bridge with wood planking spans the river for hikers to cross over it. The bridge located in the state forest campground leads over to a sandy beach with rocks along the shoreline. It is a great place to enjoy the refreshing water of Lake Superior or go rock hunting for your favorite rocks. The bridge is also part of the North Country Trail that runs from North Dakota to Vermont and passes through Michigan.

It is a strange feeling walking over the bridge as it bounces and sways, or maybe I just need to lose some weight. If you are ever up that way, It is a long trip down dirt roads but it is a unique experience to walk across the bridge. Copyright www.Lostinmichigan.net
