Superior Hiking Trail: Grand Marais to Otter Lake Rd. - Part 1

I start a section hike on the Superior Hiking Trail in Minnesota. This section from Grand Marais to the northern terminus of the trail is 53 miles. I cover this distance in 5 days and 4 nights.

This is the first of a four parts. In Part 1, I leave Grand Marais, I hike along the Devil Track River and make my way to Durfee Creek campsite. I start again the next morning and take in some great views of Lake Superior. I also come across what I think is an old homesteading pasture with grasses and bur oak growing now.

I used Harriet Quarles Transportation and I highly recommend her.
