Grand Portage
On the border of Minnesota and Canada on the shores of Lake Superior is an old fur trading outpost. It’s a national monument and has been preserved to show what life was like for the early explorers of the fur trading routes of the northern Great Lakes. Visiting is like taking a step way back in time.

They aren’t kidding. Lake Superior maybe warms up to 40 degrees F in the height of summer.

Grand Portage looks like a beautiful area but I like warmer areas. 40F in the water? … Brrrrr.

What beautiful photos of a beautiful area! I cringe thinking about how cold that water is. Good luck with the rest of the challenge.
