In 1999 we began our Lake Superior Circle Tour travel adventures in Duluth, Minnesota, then traveled up the North Shore of Lake Superior and then east through Ontario. We repeated this clockwise tour in 2004 & 2005.

In the intervening years, we've made a number of trips each season to various destinations along the north shore from Duluth, Mn to Thunder Bay, Ontario.

On our travels we frequently break up the day with short hikes from 1 - 3 hours in length. Both the North Shore state parks and the Superior Hiking Trail offer an abundance of trails.

Among the scenic bonuses of trekking along the North Shore are numerous rivers with waterfalls that empty into the Lake Superior basin. So for our added scenic enjoyment and as a defined hiking goal, many of our hikes have been treks to discover and enjoy these falls - most of which we photographed. Thus waterfalls will be featured in many of the photographs in these pages. . . with an occasional lakewalk, a shot from the top of several peaks that we climbed, or another scenic view.

Winter is a great time to enjoy the north shore: cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, winter festivals. We enjoyed a wintertime re-visit to some of our favorite hiking trails on snowshoes and sampling some of our favorite restaurants.
