a note from nina
deep winter
Deep winter is usually in 3-4 weeks, but the shore has had over 6 feet of snow before the new year. And then pre-holiday winds topping out at 74 mph in the Grand Marais harbor.
Head over to the Trail Reports for updates on which trails are open and what conditions to expect.
See the complete list of Winter Activities and read about upcoming events.
Lots of lodging specials being offered right now, too.
Have fun and be kind,
