Saturday staged the cars and stayed at the Swamp River campsite. The last camp on the Superior Hiking Trail and just across the road from the Border Route Trail. I was with 4 other guys. We met through the Minneapolis/St Paul Backpackers Meet Up Group. I had day hiked with 1 guy before and worked a trail clearing crew with another. The other 2 I had never met before. Sunday we started the trek. First overlook We stayed Sunday night at McFarland Lake. Next night was at Gogebic Lake. A beautiful lake which you may never see unless you hike this trail. The trip to Rose was scenic with many overlooks. On to Rose Lake We had covered 35+ miles the first 3 days and it was taxing on the older guys. So we split, the 2 stallions went on and 3 went to Daniels Lake for a more leisurely hike. We left the BW at Clearwater and met the other 2 later. We caught a shuttle to Gunflint Lodge and finished the last 6 1/2 miles with the stallions. Dog tired |
