We took advantage of MEA weekend and drove up to camp in Gooseberry Falls State Park. The day we arrived it rained off and on which made it colder but also provided us with some beautiful rainbows along with the fall colors.
Set up was easy and gave us enough time to hike around the area.
Nolan is always very cautious when approaching a precipice. The water looked pretty tropical in color but we knew better than to go in.
The campsite is right next to an ancient lava flow. I revisited my childhood of climbing boulders in Colorado by scaling the lava rock.
It rained on our hike but we were able to find shelter and were then treated to a rainbow over Lake Superior.
We brought extra blankets for the cold weather which dipped to 30 degrees at night. I woke up to a caterpillar husband. Nolan said he was warm the whole night through. It's good he didn't know the sleeping bags were only rated to 40 degrees.
Nolan happily got the fire roaring for our dinner and breakfast of hot dogs on a skewer. It provided good heat for the cold morning.
I was glad to have my ninja winter coat.
On our Thursday morning hike we were able to see some more fall colors in the park.
We walked the Gitchi Gummi Trail and were treated to a different angle of Gooseberry Falls.
We're so happy to have had time to visit the North Shore!
