It's happening right before my very eyes at the end of the Gunflint Trail. The leaves are changing colors and the landscape is no longer a solid green. Splashes of yellow, orange and red can now be seen amongst the green pine trees and it's a beautiful sight.
I'm not sure what it is about fall on the Gunflint Trail and in the Boundary Waters but it has a special appeal. The scent of fall is unique with the combination of the moist earth and dry leaves composting on the forest floor. The mornings are amazing when the cold air meets the warmer surface water to produce a fog that hovers above the BWCA lakes.
The wildlife has been active along the Gunflint Trail and at Voyageur Canoe Outfitters with many recent visitors. A black bear has been enjoying a nightly buffet and a family of grouse resides at the end of our driveway. I'm not sure they know Saturday is the opener of the grouse hunting season in Minnesota, so shhhh, please don't tell them.
In the Boundary Waters you can find fall colors as well. Shorelines of the wilderness lakes show off their new look of yellow, orange and red. Especially beautiful to see are the Tamaracks as their needles change color and eventually fall from the tree. It's so quiet in the BWCA this time of the year you can almost hear a leaf as it hits the forest floor.
The drive up to the Gunflint Trail along the North Shore is also spectacular. Red maple trees can be seen from almost everywhere but the fall landscape is best seen from the top of a hiking trail where a forest of colors dance below.
Voyageur Canoe Outfitters can help you enjoy Fall on the Gunflint Trail. We have cabins for you to stay in or we can set you up for a wilderness canoe trip into the BWCA. We're here enjoying the fabulous fall so you may as well join us.
