Last day of September 2021 and I’m starting off by returning to Superior Falls for things I missed in the past. Back in 2018 I explored from the bottom which also gives great views along Lake Superior (you can see that trip by clicking here). Today’s task was seeing the falls from above. I completely … Read more
Quick stop but a surprisingly good one at Gile Falls in the very small mining neighborhood of Gile in Montreal, Wisconsin. To be perfectly honest I’m not sure what parts of this area are private property or public (all the maps I find are in disagreement) but there are historic signs for the Penokee Iron … Read more

I wasn’t aware at the time you could view the falls from above, so my trip details hiking to the … Read more
Heading farther north and closer to the city of Hurley, Wisconsin I found myself at a hydro-power dam that I thought was a waterfall. Thankfully one of the trail signs cleared up my mistake and confirmed I was near Saxon Falls. Pipes leading from the hydro dam cross the Montreal River into Michigan and eventually meet … Read more
