On the shores of Lake Superior - Actifit: September 22 2019
Hi friends. I’m traveling with my girls on the North Shore of Minnesota, in the beautiful town of Grand Marais, which sits right on the edge of Lake Superior.
It is about a five hour drive from home, so a good half a day was spent in the car. But we found a nice little rest stop once we got up past Duluth and it had a lovely walking trail! Plus once we got to Grand Marais, we checked into our accommodations and then walked along the shore and all over town.
I hope you enjoy my photo journal.
There is a beautiful rest area just five miles out of Grand Marais. The fall colors were gorgeous, as was the view of the lake.
Our long walk along the shore and out toward a Coast Guard lighthouse began at dusk, and ended when it was nearly dark!
The girls had fun skipping stones.
The reflections on the water were amazing.
I just loved the dramatic sky, rocky shoreline and crashing waves.
As you can see, night was falling!
Finally we walked back into the little town of Grand Marais for dinner. We found a charming tavern filled with local people enjoying locally brewed beer, fantastic food and live music by an astounding guitarist and singer.
I had an amazing avocado lime salad with seared ahi tuna and a glass of Sauvignon blanc. It was sensational.
The musician was incredibly talented. He played an enormous range, from Kenny Loggins to Willie Nelson (and sounded exactly like him) to Indigo Girls to David Bowie. When he sang Ground Control to Major Tom, it was with a British accent, and it was an amazing imitation!
That’s it for today. Tomorrow we will enjoy the shops and some hiking.

Wow...the view of the lake is really gorgeous. I especially like the second last shot of the lake, the composition, colours, and flow of the fluids are just as great as they can be. With some cropping it might be a very perfect wallpaper, no joke.
Now I'm starting to hope that we have such beautiful rest areas here, here most of the times it's just next to a forest or something...haha.
Yes I’d like to do more with my photos. I take so many that eventually I do capture some good ones!
Lake Superior shorelines are gorgeous!
Here in Michigan I like the Houghton/Hancock area as well as Paradise... such beautiful scenery!
There are so many beautiful places to visit!

Yummy photos @jayna. How nice to have a getaway with the girls and see those Fall colors. And the pub sounds fantastic. Great food and wine and a talented singer. Nice find. Safe travels!
Thank you, @ducksaplenty. It really is a lovely time!
That was a very eventful day I must say. Beautiful nature pictures too.

Thank you, @ketcom!
The girls look so happy to be there! I don't think anyone could be otherwise. What a gorgeous place!
It really is beautiful!
@jayna - what a nice getaway for you and the girls! You caught some great scenery and made some nice memories I'm sure. And you really lucked out on the food and entertainment, sounds like a trip that my Mom and I would definitely enjoy.
A road trip to a beautiful destination is always fun. I do recommend this area. And it’s only 40 miles from the Canada border, if you want to visit another country!
@jayna the scenery at the lake are beautiful, but your girls, even more so!! 💕
