I'm really hoping that Mr.MN can come with us on our MEA trip this year, but on the off chance that he can't I want to take MiniMN back to Moose Madness etc, and some adventuring. (and even if he can... - then we'll take the canoe)
Not sure if you remember, last year I took her to Ely and we checked out all of the various museums/attractions,and even paddled around Lake One in the Kayak.
We then woke up around 5am on Saturday and headed to Grand Marais for Moose Maddness which was a total hit with her. She is DYING to go back again. My thoughts are to either get "real" lodging, or camp nearby...
I'd like to go paddling again, but wondering if we could "haul" the kayak to Duncan to see the Rose Portage, or - what would you suggest for a day trip? My kayak has NO yoke, but I have technically portaged it overhead.

If you get a yoke the portage to Duncan from West Bearskin is not too bad. Maybe Put in on Clearwater and go up the lake a bit and take in the cliffs. You can also take in Honeymoon bluff; a short but stair filled walk off the Clearwater road on the way to the Clearwater Lake landing.

Cleawarter is a good choice

quote canoe212: "Rose Falls and the overlook to the east of the falls is totally worth the effort. If you decide not to portage, Bridal Falls off Gunflint Lake is worth the paddle and will not include a portage. "
Is your photo Bridal Falls?

Yes, it is Bridal Falls in that photo.
This is the falls along Stairway Portage:
Also a view of Rose Lake from the Border Route Trail just east of Stairway Portage:
It's only one easy 80 rod portage into Duncan Lake to get to Stairway Portage.
