Interstate State Park-Taylors Falls-Minnesota

Today’s hiking adventure began at Interstate State Park.

I absolutely love hiking in this park. The views and trails are amazing! The sun was out and it was hot for an October hike.

The morning sun glistened on the gently flowing St. Croix River down below.

Giant stones and boulders lined the trail.

We made our way to the Glacial Potholes.

I love climbing on the giant boulders.

We crossed the river and hiked at Interstate State Park in Wisconsin.

The Pothole Trail

Back to Minnesota we go!

We rejoined the River Trail back to our starting point.

Today’s hiking adventure was 4.5 miles.

Kingsbury Creek Trail-Duluth-Minnesota

We hiked Kingsbury Creek Trail on January 30th, 2025.

The trail started right near the Duluth Zoo. We made our way around the outside of the zoo’s fence before veering off onto the main trail. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any animals.

It was a beautiful winter day to hike. The sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was a bit above freezing. It felt like a mini heat wave as we made our way along the trail.

The trail led us towards Spirit Mountain. Several people skiing were taking advantage of the gorgeous day as well.

We looped back towards our starting point. 

We passed a sign in someone’s yard that made us laugh. 

Today’s hiking adventure was 2.8 miles.
