VoyageurNorth	09/28/2018 01:30PM The Echo Trail road up northwest is very pretty right now. And you could take a medium time day trip up Little Indian Sioux which should be gorgeous with color and maybe take a few minutes to go see Devil's Cascade waterfall.
egknuti	09/27/2018 08:18PM Fall colors seem to be running a little late this year. I’d enter Mudro, portage into Sandpit and then portage to Range Lake. Or just walk the portage. I’ve found great colors in past years in this area.
oth	09/27/2018 08:07PM Not really avista, but the view of Ed Shave lake off the Echo trail seemed cool to me.
yogi59weedr	09/27/2018 07:47PM I noticed the new road into ely is quite scenic...
walllee	09/27/2018 04:42PM The new 169 highway has some fantastic vista view areas.
jdevries	09/27/2018 03:55PM There's an overlook on the Fernberg towards Lake 1, Rookie Pond I think? Also the road out to Moose Lake has some nice views. JD
eroom	09/27/2018 02:08PM The Bass Lake Trail is nice. https://www.ely.org/_site_components/uploads/trailmaps/bass_lake_trails.pdf
ellahallely	09/27/2018 11:39AM Might want to check out Jasper Peak and the fire tower. It is located just east of Soudan on the south side of the road. The new road to Ely from Soudan has some nice views towards Vermilion.
inspector13	09/27/2018 10:23AM There is a view over Soudan and the surrounding forest at the Underground Mine State Park. Really...
andym	09/27/2018 09:59AM The falls is a great idea. One late trip we actually had our best leaf viewing on the road from Ely to Virginia. It rolls enough that there are some good long views. And the leaves had turned colors while the ones near the lakes had barely started.
SevenofNine	09/27/2018 09:25AM Kawaishiwi falls is accessible by car/foot. Falls
THEGrandRapids	09/27/2018 09:21AM Thinking about a day trip to Ely this weekend... are there any vistas, valleys, high points, etc.- that are accessible (either by canoe or by car) to view the Fall colors? I only have one day and don't need a marathon. Was planning on doing a quick day paddle to the North Hegmen pictos.
