Turns out Sandstone, Minnesota is a pretty great place to spend a few days exploring! 🌲

From hitting the trails to discovering some unexpected little gems along the way, Forrest and I had a lot of fun seeing what this corner of Minnesota has to offer. And as usual, the adventure didn't go entirely according to plan. 😂

This adventure was part of a paid partnership with Shrpa and Pine County. Thanks for having us!

How have I never heard more about Sandstone, Minnesota?! 🍂

For a little town along the Kettle River, Sandstone sure packs in a LOT of adventure!

Forrest and I spent a fall weekend exploring the area, and I honestly had no idea how much we'd find. Towering sandstone cliffs, an incredible historic railroad bridge, rushing waterfalls, beautiful hiking trails, and some seriously gorgeous fall colors!

We explored Robinson Quarry Park, hiked through Banning State Park, did a little fishing, and even went on a mission to find some fresh apple c***r. Because what's a fall adventure without c***r? 😂

What I loved most was how much there was to discover around every corner. It's the kind of place that reminds me why I love getting off the beaten path and exploring somewhere new.

If you're looking for a Minnesota getaway with beautiful scenery, outdoor adventures, and a few unexpected surprises, put Sandstone on your list!

🎥 And if you'd like to come along for the whole adventure, I've got a 28-minute video over on YouTube! Find Angela Joy Adventures on YouTube for the full trip.

A big thank you to Shrpa for partnering with me on this adventure! ❤️

Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you don't plan! 🍂🏕️

When Forrest and I headed to Sandstone, Minnesota, for a fall camping trip, I knew we'd be staying along the beautiful Kettle River. What I DIDN'T know was that our campground was right next to towering sandstone cliffs, climbing routes, and an incredible railroad bridge!

And that was just the beginning. 😂

We spent the weekend exploring waterfalls, hiking through the fall colors, fishing the Kettle River, hunting down fresh apple c***r, and discovering just how much this little Minnesota town has to offer.

It's one of those trips that reminds me why I love exploring places I've never been. You just never know what you're going to find!

📸 Here are a few favorite moments from our weekend, but there's a whole lot more to the story!

🎥 The full 28-minute adventure is now on my YouTube channel, Angela Joy Adventures! Come along for the camping, exploring, and whatever else we managed to get ourselves into. 😂
