2007. 5th Edition GUIDE TO THE SUPERIOR HIKING TRAIL. Foreword by Sam Cook. Includes new Duluth trail sections completed in 2006, plus updated, detailed maps for the entire Superior Hiking Trail. Available today. Guide to the Superior Hiking Trail details over 235 miles of wilderness footpath on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Mile-by-mile descriptions lead the casual hiker or ardent backpacker through hardwood forests of birch and maple, and into boreal forests of spruce, pine and fir--a region thriving with spectacular wildflowers and diverse wildlife. This landscape, once carved by ancient glaciers, is dominated by Lake Superior, the largest-area freshwater lake in the world. The Superior Hiking Trail weaves along the Sawtooth Mountain range--easily the most impressive scenery in the Midwest. Guide to the Superior Hiking Trail provides information on trailhead access, parking accommodations, designated campsites, scenic overlooks and linkages to the seven Minnesota State Parks along the trail. Complete trail maps are included in each section. Whether you have two hours or two weeks, an afternoon or a weekend, this guide will enhance your hiking experience.
