so hey guys welcome back welcome to this winter frosty land of ours here in minnesota minnesota
has been putting on a show lately with all this horror frost so we're taking advantage we're
gonna get outside do some hiking and enjoy these beautiful views and all the frostiness
that is going on right now so we are at belle perry park which is near little falls minnesota
we're just going to be hiking here it's along the mississippi river and if you can kind of see there
is a little bit of open water back here um most of it is frozen but just gonna enjoy a beautiful
morning here at this park just kind of getting in some hiking and there's swans back there
oh and we just heard ice cracking so anyways let's get started
all right you guys here's a map of some of the hiking trails here at belle prairie so
lots of different trails all around we're just gonna kind of hike around
and just kind of enjoy the day nothing too serious
just the slightest touch of wind and the frost like just comes right off
the trees and it's like it's snowing look at us
the trails are really like packed down
don't need like snowshoes or anything hiking is just fine on these trails crunchy frosty trails
check out this frost you guys look how thick that is
this is crazy i don't think i've ever seen such thick frostiness this is just absolutely gorgeous
this area of the park is so pretty it's kind of like where they have like the picnic tables
and they have a boat access area and we've kayaked from this access down to the little
exam area it's a really pretty area and these pines are just gorgeous it's just unbelievable
so
if you watched our vlog from when we were at charles lindbergh state park um i was kind of
mentioning how it was kind of a frosty morning but it was nothing like this this is pretty
awesome
this is the access area that i was mentioning where we've
taken our kayaks out here on the mississippi
wow no kayaking from here
that is some rough ice look at that you guys it's crazy
good inch and a half wow
toss it
so the wind just started kicking up again it's snowing
it wouldn't take much wind before all this for us just to say adios
enjoy it while you can
serious eagles so pretty on our drive
definitely not at the park anymore we're just kind of tooling around really cool railroad bridge here
can't go on it but um you can walk up to it it gives you views of like the mississippi
we actually kayaked under this ridge from the park we were just at we got some road congestion
still just trembling around we're on this line trail right now on our way to see blanchard damn
um i don't think we've ever been here in winter have we oh i have you have okay back in the day
but yes i have not been here in the winter we'll see if the dam and everything is frosty
all right there it is
the mississippi and the blanchard dam in
wintertime
guys i don't know what that is a little circulate stuff that's weird i don't know what that is
i've like never seen anything like that on the river before
so if any of you know what that all is let me know i'm curious
i think it's the foam that grows that's always out here oh okay that kind of makes sense yeah
because of the dam sometimes it's like foamy so it could be frozen foam circles they're weird
all right and there's the Blanchard damn from below we were just up there walking
pretty down here and there's nobody down here so we have it all to ourselves
all right you guys thanks so much for spending the day with us here just kind of hanging out today

gorgeous so i hope you guys are enjoying it so thank you guys so much for watching be sure to
