Are there days when you resist your walk or other form of exercise? I had to force myself to button up and GET OUT THERE two days ago. The rewards were many and a good lesson.
Top of the Temperance River
I turned off onto an unbroken path and set my boots to the snow. The silence was thick and precious, the air just cold enough and the evergreens heavy with new snow.
Superior Hiking Trail along the Temperance River
Bridge over the gorges
Where in Spring the water thunders through these gorges, in winter, they are ice encrusted with powerful brownish waters rushing beneathe and peeking out through thinning ice.
A part of the gorge
Wolves are present and dogs disappear if not leashed. Although I’ve only seen their tracks, I carry my whistle as a talisman.
Whistle at the ready.
Gitchee-Gumi Trail
The effort to head out was richly rewarded….as it usually is. 
Come again!!

Oh brrrrr! Is it possible to get goosebumps by simply looking at a photo of snow? I did! But how pristine and starkly beautiful. Your whistle wouldn’t do much if a grizzly decided you looked tasty! Be careful!!!

No grislies in MN, just black bears and they are hibernating. Not super cold….unless you’re in Bali!
