We hiked Schoolcraft State Park on August 17th, 2023.
Our hike began from the picnic area parking lot.


The trail led us towards the Mississippi River.




The trail quickly diverted from the river and into the forest.


The gigantic trees towered over us. The cool wind graced our senses with an intoxicating aroma from the pine trees.




This park is the perfect place to escape from the busy world. It brought perspective to how small we are in this enormous world. The photo below is of my cousin hiking in the near distance. She looks so small compared to the trees around her.

The landscape began to change as more wildflowers and ferns began to appear along the trail.




The trail led us to a wonderful view of the Mississippi River.




As we neared our starting point, we hiked out onto a dock to take in more amazing views of the mighty Mississippi River.




Our hiking adventure was 1.6 miles.

Wonderful photos & narrative
Thanks for sharing!.

We were here back in May this year. The trees were Fantastic! It was so quiet, only the whisper of the pines could be heard.
