Winter Ice on Wauswaugoning Bay


















Summit view from one of the toughest but most rewarding snowshoe hikes along the Minnesota shoreline of Lake Superior: Mt. Josephine in Grand Portage.  Not an overly long distance to snowshoe, but lots of vertical elevation gain.  700 feet in less than a mile.  Elevation at the trailhead is just over 600 feet above sea level, elevation at the summit is just over 1300 feet.  The dramatic elevation makes for some jaw-dropping views from the summit!  This view is looking east over the Susie Islands and Pigeon Point, the northeastern tip of Minnesota.
