I am convinced that everything is pretty in Minnesota.

Especially in the fall.

The Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge is another favorite stop when up there.

I am not sure of the name of the hike but it is a pretty one, out to a spillway.

It is between Blackbird Lake and South Chippewa Lake.

Nick’s dad is a bit of a survivalist and knows what things you can eat in the woods.

There were so many swans!

This last trail was pretty funny.

We went on the trail it looped back to the road.

We basically doubled back to our vehicle to get to the platform.

Ha

We headed to Itasca State Park from here!
