Ready, set, hike! Sharing highlights & a pictorial of the second half of July’s Lutsen Mountains adventure. Click here to catch the first-leg details of this grand loop, which began at the Poplar River and stretched along the back side of Mystery Mountain. This excerpt shares images of lovely wildflower sightings, towering forests and curious rock formations as we scaled the summit of Moose Mountain then descended, winding our way to the lower Poplar River. It was a Superior day with ideal weather conditions, so much to explore and even more to appreciate about the beauty that surrounds us.
Taking time to escape—together. Sounds idyllic, but perhaps not realistic most days. A break from routine takes effort and commitment.

Thank you Heidi & Danny Geller for sharing your Lutsen adventure! Continue reading “So Happy Together”

Time slows. Coffee brews. PJs are a mainstay. Continue reading “Welcome, settle in & pull up a chair”
