Backpack Hammocking in the Minnesota Northwoods

HappyHiker — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 03:40:28 +0000

Got out for two nights (too short!!) and went to Northern Minnesota to some favorite spots in Crosby Manitou State Park (terrific trails there) and then on to Horseshoe Ridge on the Superior Hiking Trail. Then looped back to the trailhead and home. Slept wonderfully in my hammock and had some good woods walking.
