good morning everyone look at these colors we are up here in
pequot lakes which is just north of the brainerd lakes area but we're at the
fire tower here and we're gonna climb the fire tower to see the colors
oh my gosh you guys i'm not even joking when i say on our way up here to
pequot these have been some of the best colors we have seen all year they are
so bright with yellows and reds it's absolutely stunning to drive up here so
i'm so excited to climb the tower and see the colors from above we have a
lot planned here in pequot today so uh follow along
as we spend our day here in pequot lakes and a little perspective here of
the tower we're climbing right there it's poking out of the trees
here's a map of the hike to the fire tower we are parked right
here and then we just take this trail all the way up and over
to the fire tower so 0.3 miles so very easy hike so this hike in this
whole area has actually just recently been redone
so they put in these nice picnic tables and the trails have all been resurfaced
with like some really nice gravel so yeah it's like a perfect little spot to
come have lunch and do a little hiking and
of course climb the tower the beginning of summer i created a video it was
hiking trails in central minnesota that was kind of like the very shirt of me
starting to do my vlogs here in minnesota
and this hike was on that video however um as we were hiking
and going to the tower we got to the tower and it was closed
because of kobed but now it's back open which is awesome
because it's all time so it's gonna be even prettier so look at these trails
we're in a fall wonderland again so pretty
so these are all aspen trees here on this trail look at this you guys so
there's a little sign here it says these trees were planted in 2004 and
look how tall they are already they're huge
we are getting to the tower here it is holy buckets
it's a long way up there so this tower is a hundred
feet tall
i'm gonna be brutally honest with you i'm very scared of heights
and we did this one years and years ago and i couldn't do it
i couldn't go all the way down so i'm gonna try really hard today today's
gonna be the day i'm gonna i'm gonna go to the top
think i can do it hon chicken chicken he has so much confidence in his wife
right you can do it all right let's do this
all right we're on the third platform almost to the top of the treehouse
not too bad still doing all right
look at this we're not even to the top yet
this is like platform five
we made it to the top and i didn't freak out
i totally did it wow
i didn't know that the top was all enclosed
wobbles and yeah it's a little windy up here
and it wobbles so just heads up how pretty so in the distance
you can see the peacock water tower it's a little blobber
how cute it is absolutely stunning

luts lutson was amazing too but like oh my gosh this is so pretty
i can't believe these colors
did it we did it and i think it's here so we weren't able to do it
in spring but you know what i think fall was the best time to do it anyway
so it all worked out see everything works out for a reason
all right so now we're going to make our way back to pequot
and grab some coffee and then get out on the water
the lakes up here are so pretty right now so
taking advantage kayaking the first coffee
