Walking at a two-year-old “I want to stop and look at everything pace” is a wonderful way to walk…it slows us down and opens our eyes to see things we might not notice while walking at our normal pace. We enjoyed several of these walks with our grand-daughter and her mom and dad while they were here with us on the north shore. It was delightful.
After they went back home we continued our stay at the cabin for a few more days to enjoy more hiking and biking and relaxing. One trail we always hike is the Oberg Mountain Trail. It’s a rather short hike…2.2 miles round trip. You hike up, walk around a loop on top and witness great vistas of Lake Superior and of inland trees and Oberg Lake. It’s a favorite hike of ours.
We arrived at the trailhead early one morning and spent a good two hours meandering the top and sitting to enjoy the vistas – even stopping a couple of times to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and muffin we brought along. We were pleasantly surprised at all the fall colors. We were not expecting these colors so early in the season.
Here is a photo essay from our hike on the Oberg Trail.
Such astounding beauty. It was breathtaking. Pictures, of course, do not do it justice. I am grateful for this opportunity to see this beautiful change of season, to feel it’s fresh air, and to smell the distinct fragrance of the fir trees, which also add the dark green contrast to the beautiful oranges and reds and yellows.
Fantastic colors on those trees🤣 seems like you had a nice time on your stay at Lake Superior👏👏 and so nice to spend time with your family there❤️
We talked about you while up here…contemplating a trip to Norge! 😉
Valerie, this scenery is simply stunning. And those colors. Already. I’ve never been to this part of Minnesota, which is so vastly different than other areas of our state. What beauty God created for us. Thank you for the gift of this visual tour.
We were not expecting to see any colors this early and were totally surprised it was almost, or at peak inland. We were so excited.
This is one of my favorite places in the world…I do hope you get to go to the north shore sometime.
How beautiful. That looks like a “not to miss” hike. I hope we can see it for ourselves on our next North Shore stay. Thank you for all the wonderful photos ❣️
O I do hope you get to hike the Obert trail. You and Fred would enjoy it tremendously.
What beautiful pictures. I love being up north with the woods all around and the beauty of fall. We have an amazing state.
Thanks Connie.
We do indeed, live in a great state.
Beautiful, beautiful pictures… and I imagine the joy of those walks with the little one
Thank you.
It was joyful to go on walks with Aria…And they were not short walks…she’s an adventurer. 😉
What beautiful photos! I am sure you had a beautiful time there!
It was spectacular. 😉
