Baptism River Beach, MN - Where the River Ends
This was one of my favorite places that we visited. There was no waterfalls but it was such a quiet and peaceful place. It is where Baptism River runs into Lake Superior and you have a nice, clear river on one side of the beach and the lake on the other.
It is located 58 miles northeast of Duluth and about 4 1/2 miles northeast of Silver Bay on U.S. Highway 61.
It is touted as a hiker's paradise with miles of trails that overlook the Sawtooth Mountains and wind down to inland lakes accessible only by foot.

Tettegouche State Park - MN - March 2019
Tettegouche State Park is right outside of Silver Bay. 3 1/2 hours north of Minneapolis. Tettegouche State Park is one of the most frequently visited parks in MN. There are plenty of Hiking trails and in the winter SnowShoeing, Skiing, and Snomobiling trails. This is a favorite spot for climbers both in the summer and winter.
The visitor center is nestled by the Baptism river. The visitor center is impressive to say the least. It has excellent restrooms, a large open resting area with a warm fireplace, a gift shop, and rentals for gear. Our Ranger was extremely friendly and helpful in explaining the park. She was knowledgable about the hikes and the area, that is not always the case when I talk with Rangers.
We took a day hike to the High Falls. The trail was mostly empty except for a few photographers looking for bears and some ice climbers looking for ice. We didn't find any ice or any bears to say the least. The Falls were covered in these large snow drifts. The suspension bridge was fun to hike across as well. We all agreed that the hike into the falls was one of our favorite parts of the trip.
After the hike we loaded up the pulks and headed into Campsite E at Tettegouche. If you do not know what Campsite E is, it is the most popular site at the Park. Booked from the minute it gets warm all the way until it gets cold. All throughout the week. That site barely gets a day off. In fact, there were people already booked starting at the site the weekend after we were there. E and F are popular, try for E when you go.
It is an amazing site that overlooks lake superior by the Baptism river. Once of the best Cart-In sites I have seen. Good Luck getting it during the summer though. The wind was really bad in the evening, but seeing the ice sheets pushed across the lake and hearing the crunching of the ice made it worth it. In the morning we awoke to a stillness in the air. The whole reason I enjoy winter camping is those quiet mornings with a light snowfall. Waking up at that site and having the slight snowfall was perfect. Despite the terrible wind the night before the morning made up for it. This was one of my favorite winter trips. I'd go back, if I can get a reservation for the site. Thanks for watching.

The Palisade Head by drone
This is a video I made of the Pallisade head by drone in Silver, Bay, my absolute favorite city in Minnesota. It is part of my favorite state park, Tettegouche. At the highest point the cliffs are 300ft. Because of its beauty and the sheerness of the cliffs, the it is rock climbing mecca for people all over the world. If you have not been there, and seen this view, and consider yourself a Minnesotan, you should be ashamed of yourself.

The North Shore ~ Leif Erickson Park, Duluth, MN
This video marks the first out of several that will appear in a series titled The North Shore. Each video will feature one or more of the beautiful sights to see along the west shore of Lake Superior! I plan to release new videos in this series periodically so stay tuned and don't forget to subscribe!
The Leif Erickson Park's Rose Garden includes over 3000 rose bushes representing more than 100 varieties, among its flowering landscape plantings. Besides being one of the midwest's few formal English style Rose Gardens, the park is architecturally significant for being constructed over Duluth's I-35 expressway. As you stroll around the beautiful park, little do you know that below your feet trucks and cars are streaming along!
As a side note I'd like to apologize for the vibration distortions present in the video. It was a bit windy during the time of filming and I was trying different things with the gimbal's anti-vibration mount. Some parts of the video are a little rough but I thought it was worth sharing anyways :)
