This wilderness sits in Lake Superior, roadless, unspoiled forests, lakes and rugged scenic shores - accessible only by boat or seaplane. We had just 4 hours to explore, we hiked a 3.6 mile trail to Grace Creek overlook through the boreal forest with the forest floor awash with berries of all kinds. Thimbleberries were our favourite, similar to a raspberry but nicer! Wolves, moose and beaver live side by side here - we saw none! The time went far too quickly but it was so worth the visit. On our journey out we saw the sacred cedar tree of the Ojibwe and a shipwreck, the Rock of Ages lighthouse
on the way back. Another National Park ticked off our list, a wonderful Island but perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, we loved it.

Left Grand Portage and retraced our steps back to Duluth then headed north east into Wisconsin, stopping the night at Gooseberry Falls State Park, a pretty park on the edge of the lake with a series of falls.
