We’re staying at Lutsen Mountains, a ski resort waiting for snow. Today we climbed up to one of the lift stations, passing idle snow-making machines. We then followed a Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) spur then the main SHT trail, completing a 5-hour loop. Along the way, Dwight caught me off guard on a rocky, root-filled section of trail. The looming rocks above didn’t exactly inspire confidence.
