    VIDEO: Superior Hiking Trail - Finland to Beaver Bay

    I had a great three day 30 mile hike on the SHT this past weekend. Finland to Beaver Bay is one of the more scenic (but challenging) sections of the trail. From Section 13, Sawmill Dome, Tettegouche State Park and the High Falls, Mount Trudee, Bean and Bear Lake overlooks, to the Beaver River, it was awesome.

    It was great weather. Trail wasn't too crowded. No bugs, however the trail was muddy as usual. Really enjoyed the sites and my first swim in Bear Lake. I also added a little Shug video from the MN State Fair.

    Thanks for sharing! A few of us are thinking of heading up there this September. It was good to see the trail conditions.

    Plan for mud, Check.

    Very good video JeremyL. I didn't realize that the SHT had that kind of elevation changes. How cold was that lake?

    Yep. People underestimate the amount of hills. Being the end of the summer the lake wasn't too bad. Thanks for watching!

    Love the video and the water looked refreshing. What a way to spend a couple of days.
