good morning we are in Split Rock Lighthouse State Park and we were up here
last weekend we were doing some kayaking on Lake Superior and we had so much fun
we decided to come back so we are the back it is July 10th today and so we are
down on Pebble Beach right here in Split Rock Lighthouse State Park and we are
gonna kayak over to the Split Rock Lighthouse so it's actually just
like right around the corner here it's not a super far kayak ride but look at
it such a pretty day it's not quite as calm as last weekend but we're
okay with it because we're not kayaking at far today but yeah we're excited to
get back on Lake Superior and go check out the Split Rock Lighthouse area and
enjoy another beautiful day here on Minnesota's North Shore ready honey
this is Pebble Beach of Split Rock Lighthouse State Park there's a little
island right there oh my gosh it's gonna be a good day
Pebble Beach has big pebbles
whoo-hoo good job oh yeah pretty waters again all right
honey you ready to go see Split Rock Lighthouse by water
so pretty let's go we literally just came around the corner of the bay and
there it is on the hill over there so we got a kayak right there so a little bit
more of an easier kayak today but you know what we're okay with it there's a
little bit more of a breeze today then when we were here last weekend going
from black sand beach all the way to palisade head so that's one thing I kind of
mentioned in my last video you know Lake Superior can just like randomly pick up
a lot of wind and get pretty wicked and I do not want to be caught in a kayak
when that happens so we are okay but the water still super calm so from
Pebble Beach after the point here and we'll decide that if we want to keep
going or just go back so yeah nice little short paddle such a pretty area
with the big cliffs here with the lighthouse on top oh this is nice I just
made it around the corner of the lighthouse we're just going to see
what's over here these cliffs are huge it would be interesting to see how they've compared to
palisade head i'm thinking palisade is a little taller but wow it's crazy yes
so pretty and such big rock and there's like a cave Oh check out the cave
I'm gonna get wet
is it raining in the cave good thing I'm not in the game oh yeah look at all the
water coming from top getting wet all the glitter from the little ripples in
the water in the Sun so pretty
such pretty shoreline here right there's where the lighthouse should be beautiful
day in the neighborhood let's do it oh
I'll follow you yeah huge rocks down here oh my goodness just floating right
on top of them yeah there's one like poking out of the water there Wow cheers
Cheers I know it's a warm one again not
complaining though cuz it's always nice on the water what I did yeah get my
water going here stay hydrated when you're being active
good water, it's actually wine, no not yet it's too early for wine yes so if you just
kept like going right along this coast fine here it's just like pretty Rocky
all the way and then once you kind of get right there there's like more cliffs
I see I don't think we're gonna go that far today um we probably could but we're
just where we want to get in some longer hikes today still I think we're gonna
kind of loop back try and get some more photos of those pretty lighthouse and
this year at the Lighthouse actually isn't open due to the pandemic so no one's
allowed to go in the lighthouse so the best way to see it is actually from
water this year but to us this is new because we have never kayak or really
actually been in the state park much so we're gonna do a little bit of hiking to
here at Split Rock State Park and just kind of check it out a little oh boy be
careful crazy husband you made it all right I guess you dared me to do it
alright let's go back to the light outside
so today's plan since we are doing a much shorter paddle today we have a
little bit more time for hiking so as I mentioned we're gonna go check out the
state parks here a little bit probably do it just a little bit of hiking here
and then our plan is to go up to Temperance River State Park and do some
hiking there like along the waterfalls and then we want to go check out the Carlton Peak
and Britton Peak so a lot more hiking planned for today so I'm sure I will be
putting this video up a little so it doesn't get so long you look so little
compared to the rock oh my goodness
there's the lighthouse peaking out that is so pretty
it's like one of those iconic like landmarks on the North Shore it's like
you know you're on the North Shore when you hit the lighthouse you're beautiful
keep shining all right so we are heading back to Pebble Beach and it's kind of
perfect timing because the wind just picked up and I don't know that once
we're done with this we probably talked about a mile and a half so definitely a
shorter paddle but such a fun little all right we made it back and picked up I
know it doesn't look bad here but out there it was really pushing us and we
definitely worked harder coming back so that was perfect timing
all right now we're gonna change into our shoes into a little hike in but just
for anyone who is interested in kayaking from Pebble Beach or over to the
lighthouse so we left the beach at 8:07 and we just got back at 9:17 so it was
just a little bit over an hour it took us but you probably could have won
faster if you really wanted to oh we were just kind of enjoying it so so it
was a really fun little paddle and yes this will see the lighthouse from water
so far we did it now let's go do some hiking and one more reason why you have
to be careful kayaking look at those waves guys
we're just walking around the beach area I'm going to go down to this point and
just kind of see what's around the corner
this is another state park we've never liked explored alot it's kind of one of
those we just kind of driven by when we're on our way up north so this
is very pretty it has a nice Beach area because it's like in a cold it's pretty
calm waters but the water is cold so I don't know if we're like sitting by the
water I think I could go in the water but yeah yeah but this is really pretty
another island out there yeah and you got the lighthouse right there
very nice there's another trail over here we're gonna go on to next and check
that out we don't want to spend too much time hiking here because we have a lot
of other bigger hikes see when I do today so yeah very pretty though I was
kind of mentioning in my Tettegouche video so every time we come up to the North
Shore we see something different or new and here it is here's another one
skipping rock all right let's see it oh
hey guys
good job hun
so we decided to hike from the other side of the beach which is over there and
look at we're right here by the lighthouse now again there it is I'm
sure so pretty all right and that is a wrap at Split Rock State Park we have
lots of other hiking to do today so this is great perfect little kayak trip and a
perfect little hike here to see you as a beautiful then my lighthouse of the
North Shore so stay tuned for my next few vlogs I'm going to be splitting this
video up so just stay tuned for those and we will see you guys in the next
vlog thanks so much for watching
