I came back a few days ago from my annual hiking trip along the Superior Hiking Trail. We had beautiful (dry) weather during the trip. The only rain we had was Sunday, and by then we didn't care because we were hiking out that day. We started last Wednesday at Caribou Lake and headed East to Co. Rd. 58, just east of the Devil Track River. The scenery was outstanding, especially along the Devil Track River, Cascade River, views of the lake and overlooking the city of Grand Marais. No wildlife sightings, but I'm pretty sure a bear was trying to get at our food one night after we turned in. From the sounds of it, fairly big branches were being snapped from the tree where our food was hung. We must have done a pretty good job of hanging the food, because it was still there in the morning.

Where did you guys stay? I'm going camping up in Superior this upcoming weekend. We'll be staying at Pattison State Park. Should be lots of fun!
Sounds like you didn't have any issues with smoke from the BWCA fires. Good news, thanks for the pics!
Nope, no issues with smoke whatsoever. However, we ran into some other hikers who, only a couple of days earlier, were getting ash falling from the sky and lots of smoke. I think the winds shifted just right for us.
Anna,we hiked to a different campsite every night. We went through Cascade River State Park, but we were only in the park for a few hours. That was the only state park we went through. Have a great time camping this weekend! The weather should be great (if you like the hot stuff).
Matt...these pics are so serene looking, thanks for sharing them.
Great pics...
Note to all you young folk...Travel while you can...see what is great about the good ol' USA.
