hey guys we are at grand portage state park here
right on the minnesota and canada border literally customs is like
right right there so we are so excited to be here today
because we have never been to the state park i wasn't sure if i ever
was but now that we just got here i'm like no
we have never been here so this is exciting new park for us
so we're excited to go see the tallest waterfall in minnesota so stay tuned for
that beautiful waterfall and as we do some
hiking around grand portage state park
all right here is the map of the state park
so this is parking lot where we are and we are going to make our way right here
to high falls that's where the tallest
waterfall is and then i think we are going to go to this trail that
brings back all the way here and does this middle falls loop all right if you
are just turning into this hike this is like the last stop on our day up
here at grand portage so this morning um we went and hiked to
devil's kettle which is so cool to see that again we haven't been up here for
like years and years and years and then we just got finished hiking at
mount josephine which was so brutal however best view in minnesota so i
highly recommend checking out that vlog and seeing what
that's all about because that was stunning
and now we are at beautiful grand porches state park so yeah it's been a
long day but we've had some amazing hikes
so the day just keeps getting better and better
really nice path it's hard all the way to the falls yeah
so it is friday july 24th today it is packed here oh my goodness i
couldn't believe the parking lot we literally got lucky
with one spot a person was leaving and so we were able
to pull right in after they were leaving so yeah i didn't expect it to be so busy
on the tip of minnesota today but hey it's the middle summer people are
enjoying it so hey can't blame them i guess
wow this is so pretty so this rock ledge i've never seen like rocks like that
it's like it's like layered it's like something
came through and like shaved it i don't know it's weird
that's really pretty wow cool this rock it's like layered
wow weird
we're the worst we always try and stay on the trail but
we always decide to do off the beaten path so
more hiking you don't get this view wow it's so pretty
we're right there now we're getting there
i hear the falls i think we're going to the top of the falls right now
i think
all right that was the top of the falls but we're gonna head down the bottom
because the view down there is better it's a
nice waterfall it's pretty though oh my gosh oh we've never been here hon
i don't get it. crazy us.
there it is you guys it's so pretty we did it officially
cool
wow that was beautiful waterfall right hun yeah it was
great that was nice that was really pretty we finally did it
so we were thinking about doing that other hike to the loop area
however, it's already 3:30 and we know that hike will probably take us a few
hours and kind of shot we're a little tired
and we just want to go sit down by the water
some drinks and then go out for dinner hopefully as long as there's
availability so we are gonna head back to grand marais right now instead of
doing that hike and yeah i'm excited and yeah definitely
an awesome waterfall you should definitely go
see super easy walking it's like tar path
boardwalk it's beautiful so highly recommend be sure to check
it out it is the tallest waterfall in minnesota so
do it gotta check it off the list now we have to go get our passport stamp
for our minnesota state park passport can't forget the stamp because
this park is long way from us so we made the drive we need our stamp
all right guys stamp number two i just did a vlog about our
minnesota state park passports that we just got so
two stamps on the passport already woo-hoo all right so we just got to Grand
Marias the first thing we have to do is go get
our favorite fudge in the world
guys if you're in Grand Marais go to Beth's Fudge and Gifts
the best fudge in the world literally oh my god so
our favorite kind is the chocolate sea salt oh my god it's so good
but we got one pound and a quarter so we got
two of the sea salt we got some chocolate walnuts some
chocolate nuts something and then a caramel chocolate so
oh my god yeah this is like the bomb all right so we just got down to the marina
area we just gonna sit down here have a few
drinks and then i don't know it's really busy i
don't know if we're gonna be able to eat here
so we'll see but we're gonna have some drinks before we go see about dinner
here's our bench perfect this is Grand Marais
cute little town here on lake superior on the north shore cheers
so um we're definitely gonna have to come back up here
and vlog Grand Marais because this is such a cool town and there's so many pretty
little like places right here like hiking so yeah i
think this fall yeah we'll come up here this fall we
always come up here in the fall time and we used to always we've spent so
much time up on the Gunflint Trail um in the boundary waters that's
primarily what we've always done when we came up north we've always just kind of
skipped all the state parks besides them like easy attractions and then
we would um just go right to the Gunflint Trail so that's why this year
has been really fun because we've really explored the state parks along the north
shore here like more in depth than what we've ever done
so that's been so cool so yeah we'll definitely come back up here this fall
and do more Grand Marais footage but right now
this bench highlight of the day yeah and this view in front of me of the
Grand Marais harbor i'm not moving anytime soon
so we were totally planning to eat in Grand Marais but
i wasn't holding my breath because i had a feeling and my feeling was right
it was so crazy lines craziness so we left and we are at Cascade
Restaurant which we have had breakfast and lunches here and it's so
good yeah it's really good food so if you're up here
and you're near cascade be sure to check them out they have
awesome food
oh my gosh let's eat i got a grilled chicken pita
looks so good and hubby got a cheeseburger oh yeah
we got blue moons and i'm just drinking a pepsi
oh i'm starving
oh my god that was so good oh so good so because
we just bought some of the best fudge in the world
you don't need to go get ice cream
i know it's yeah it's so worth every penny
it's a lot of fudge you know but when you go up to Grand Marais you might
as well indulge you only live once so get what you like
so let's enjoy some of this fudge here it is my favorite
oh my god oh my god
there's like nothing like this oh my god it's so good
it hasn't changed it's still the bomb i've yet to find a fudge like this
i've been all over the world and usually when i see like fudge
i usually do buy some no one compares you have to go to grand marais for fudge
so better do that all right so we each had a pizza fudge and we figured well we
better see how much hiking we did today to justify
all the fudge we're about to eat
all right so hubby had his pedometer going all day long
and it said we have got 21,542 steps today which is exactly 9.14
miles so almost 10 miles today that's pretty good
so yeah it was a good day of hiking all right you guys we're gonna wrap this
