Back by popular demand, the Happy Hikers will hike the Superior Hiking Trail section to Carlton Peak. Beginning at the Britton Peak trailhead, we will travel along wooden walkways, a spruce plantation and maple forest. The trail travels by high rock walls to Ted Tofte Overlook. We will then continue through the woods to the top of Carlton Peak. We will enjoy our lunch at the top, and then turn around and hike back down. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, on a leash.
Difficulty level: Moderate.
Approximate distance: 3 miles
Meet at the YMCA parking lot near the tennis courts at 9:00 am. We’ll carpool to the trailhead. Take Hwy. 61 west of Grand Marais and turn up the Sawbill Trail (Co. Rd. 2). Go 2.7 miles to the parking lot on the right. Suggested donation for drivers: $3.
If you are coming from the west end and would like to meet us at the trailhead, be there around 9:30 a.m. Please let me know if you’re going to meet us there so we know to wait for you.
What to bring: Hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, sturdy walking shoes, hiking poles, water, and a snack.
If it’s raining, the hike will be cancelled. Listen to WTIP for an announcement.
