Kadunce River Gorge

















Did you know that there are canyons in Minnesota that could qualify as slot canyons, similar to those found in the southwestern United States?  Well, here is one!  Sure, it's not a super-skinny slot that you have to squeeze sideways to get through it, but I think it's narrow enough and deep enough to qualify.  This is on the Kadunce River just north of Grand Marais, MN not far upstream from Highway 61.  There are many wonders to explore on this beautiful little river.  I think I could spend the whole day photographing just the first mile of river upstream from Lake Superior.  It is a magical canyon wonderland, in an area where you would least expect it!  When you start out on the trailhead from Highway 61 you would never guess that this deep gorge is just a short walk away.
