Minnesota’s North Shore
For our final camping trip of the year, we headed up to Minnesota’s Lake Superior shoreline for the first time. There are a number of state parks and hiking trails to explore so I’m sure we’ll make many return trips in the coming years. For this visit we sampled a bunch of places on the southern half of the shoreline.
Iona’s Beach
A beautiful and interesting pink rock beach, enhanced by the light hoarfrost that formed right on the rocks.
Little Two Harbors and Split Rock Lighthouse
Black Beach/Turtle Island
A very cool black sand beach that runs out to a pink rock island. Fun colors!
Shovel Point at Tettegouche State Park
A steep but short hike takes you out to this great panoramic view of the lakeshore.
Gooseberry Falls Campground
I’m always happy when a campground has some interesting features and I don’t have to travel far in the morning or evening for photography. In this case a nice rocky lakeshore provided a lot of opportunities.
