Today’s hiking adventure was at Fort Snelling State Park.

We hiked at one of my favorite places, Pike Island. The island is surrounded by the Minnesota River and Mississippi River.

As we made our way to Pike Island, we spotted several deer having their morning breakfast.

To access Pike Island, one has to cross a small bridge with the Minnesota River flowing below.

The trails are nice and wide around the island.

The Minnesota River

We made our way to the sandy shores of the island where the Mississippi River and Minnesota River meet. Lots of people were fishing out on their boats enjoying the beautiful morning.

The Mississippi River was to our left and the Minnesota River was to our right.

We continued along the trail following alongside the Mighty Mississippi River.

Today’s hiking adventure was 4 miles.
