Hiking in Tettegouche State Park, Minnesota, early Oct. '22

This is part 2 of my fall trip to northern Minnesota. For part 1 see this post: https://soulcenteredphotography.blogspot.com/2022/10/oberg-mountain-and-marshall-mountain.html  

I was fortunate to stay at a friend's cabin close to Tettegouche State park. The day started out with soft blues and pinks and a calm lake with beautiful reflections. And it ended with a gorgeous sunset and amazing clouds reflecting in the calm water.

I decided to go for a hike in the lesser known parts of the park. In the 6-7 hours (probably 12-15 miles) I only met 8 people! The day before I was at the popular Oberg Mountain loop near Lutsen and the amount of people there was almost overwhelming. 

This turned out to be one of the most enjoyable hikes I have done in a long time (except for getting a blister on my foot)! I stopped at several overlooks with amazing views and just walking on the trails in a golden forest made me feel like being in an enchanted world! And Shanti of course had a great time and would have walked a few more miles! It was enough for me, though!

We came by Tettegouche Lake, had a picnic at Nipisiquit lake and explored the Tettegouche Camp at Mic Mac Lake. The Camp consists of 4 rustic cabins that can be rented but you have to hike in (a 1.7 mile distance) and bring your own food and bedding. It certainly is a very peaceful place to spend a few days.

Oberg Mountain and Marshall Mountain, early October 2022

I am finally getting around to working on my photos from my fall trip to northern Minnesota in early October 2022. I can enjoy those brilliant fall colors all over again!! It was really spectacular but oh so short!! 

The first 16 photos are from the popular Oberg Mountain loop near Lutsen, Minnesota. I loved the fog rolling in from Lake Superior and the the patterns of the clouds. The overcast weather intensified the colors even more. I wrote a blog in 2020 as well: https://soulcenteredphotography.blogspot.com/2020/10/oberg-mountain-september-28-2020.html

The remaining photos are from Marshall Mountain at the Wolf Ridge Learning Center near Finland, Minnesota.
It's a short hike through a beautiful forest with spectacular views towards Lake Superior and two small lakes - Raven and Wolf Lake.

Enjoy this colorful tour - Susanne
