Skiing to Golden Eagle

















Yesterday we spent the afternoon skiing the beautiful trails of the Central Gunflint Ski Trail system.  This is a beautiful, very well-maintained network of trails along the Gunflint Trail outside of Grand Marais, MN.  We ski here a few times each year and it's always a wonderful experience.  Yesterday was no exception, with an air temp around 23 degrees and beautifully groomed trails.  We skied from Bearskin Lodge over to Golden Eagle Lodge and had one of their delicious cups of cocoa while enjoying their warm hospitality before skiing back to Bearskin.  The view shown in this photo is of Flour Lake, seen from the Old Logging Camp Trail.  It was one of my favorite sections of the trail.  Shortly after making this photo we branched off and skied the Deer Mouse Trail... wheeeeeeeee!  Fun hills on that trail :-)  Thank you to the resorts for maintaining such an awesome network of trails!
