CCC Trails

The first part of our hike took us past several waterfalls as Cascade River tumbled towards Lake Superior. The trails were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930’s. I’d applaud the return of the Corps.

Cycled behind the Pioneers Monument in Northeast Minneapolis. The front depicts a pioneer family. The back depicts Father Hennepin receiving a peace pipe from the locals in 1680. Afterwards I wrote to asking for an interpretive sign that provides fuller context.
