The peace and quiet. The beauty of the natural surroundings. The friendliness of the people in town and along the Gunflint Trail. We've camped in Federal parks along the Gunflint Trail for the past 2 years, at least a week at a time. Last year I was so unhappy at leaving that I started dreaming up a character who would... More

It was remarkable. Trails were well marked and groomed. I am not a sledder by any means but my husband, myself and some friends had an incredible time the two days we spent riding those trails.

Grand Marias is a beautiful town. Great shops, restaurants, beautifulscenry and hotels that sit right on the shores of Lake Superior. The Gunflint trail is nature's beauty at it's finest. If you want to experience the wilderness experience, The Gunflint trail offers that. The air is unbelievably crisp clean and fragrant. Be sure to bring your camera.

They have quite an array of... More

This was our first time to begin to explore the GunFlint Trail. The stop could not have been better. We had a fantastic lunch, chatted with the locals and the folks at the Center....great history and antiques grace the walls of this place!! Lots of fun and worth the stop.

The scenery, the people, the trails were fabulously groomed. It's nice to see these places taken care of so well. Our city and district could certainly take a lesson or two!

The advisor was well seasoned in his love of the area. Spot on about the hikes. Since the trailheads are often lacking maps getting them from the Center was helpful.
