Simon - Superior Hiking Trail Palisade Head, Tettegouche State Park (Part 3)



151015 Simon braves strong winds to stay on ground at the
top of Palisade Head / Simon frolics on the beach ... on N shore of Lake Superior.
"Simon Pigeon goes Camping and Hiking" (Part 3).


 A 200 foot vertical drop at Palisade Head.
There were a few cliff climbers there... I wonder if their Mothers knew?


It was Very windy, I feared Simon might blow away.



We walked down to the pebble beach at Tettegouche State Park

 Simons very first experience with waves... He did NOT like waves AT ALL. Was very vocal about it. ... ...
I set him down on the wet area... first wave... Zooooom headed for high ground, cussing loudly all the way.


 I had NO idea Simon was so talented, but he was having great fun.

Simon thought it was very unreasonable to allow "Foot Travel Only".
.
Lake Superior North Shore, Sawtooth mountains.
Superior Hiking Trail is ranked as one of the top 10 hiking trails in the world. Can be hiked in many segments, but total length is 255 miles, and as high as 1,150 feet above Lake Superior. ... Great views, a very rugged trail in parts.
This time, we only hiked a very short portion of the trail, but hiked many miles (mostly vertical) at many of the rivers and waterfalls along the North Shore between Duluth and Grand Marais MN.
