On day four of our MN Trip Nick and I grabbed our packs and headed north to the Superior Hiking Trail!
Our plan was to go from Silver Bay to Tetteguche Campground and back in 3 days.
There were some beautiful views on this part of the trail!
We even got to see Lake Superior.
The plan was to go to the Bear Lake the first day which was 3.4 miles.
I wanted to take it easy since I knew we would be driving up that day also and I did not know how I would handle a pack.
This section of the trail does have a lot of up and down.
I was pretty excited to be in this part of the country.
I love it up there.
We got to Bear Lake really early in the day despite driving 4hrs to get to the trailhead to begin with.
After taking off our packs for a bit we decided to keep going to the next campsite to save us some miles the next day.
My pack was pretty light.
I have never carried a full load but am working my way up.
Round Mountain Campsite!
It was supposed to be around 4.6 miles from the Silver Bay trailhead but might have been a bit further.
We got water while at Bear Lake.
I am really glad we did because the creek and beaver pond near this campsite did not look very appealing.
I will be doing a post on what gear we brought.
There campsites are really nice.
I did not expect backpacking sites to have seats!
All the campsites have a designated bathroom.
It is just a hole in the ground pretty much but still it is nice to have something!
Am I the only woman that has trouble with the zero privacy backpacking brings?
I was really glad no one else decided to camp here!
The wood was really wet so a fire was way too much work.
We just used the little stove we brought to cook our meals.
After eating dinner we headed up the trail a little ways to an overlook.
This is me extremely excited to not have my pack on!
I felt like I could hike forever!
I highly recommend going to the overlook!
Not only does it have a perfect view of the sunset but on the other side you can see Lake Superior.
You can also get a phone signal…
I was so excited I made it to the first campsite without injury!
The next day we head north to Tetteguche!
