Minnesota Fall

It seems while we where on vacation in Arizona and Utah, Minnesota began its transition into fall. Below are some fall pictures we collected from late September at or near Jay Cook State Park.

A bush found on the banks of the St. Louis River which is on fire with color.

An abandoned train tressel that spans over the St. Louis River. It now carries a portion of the Munger Trail which connects Duluth to Hinkley about 75 miles to the south.

The reservoir behind the Minnesota Power Dam near Jay Cook. The reservoir was really high at the time of our visit due to several large rainstorms that came through, finally ending our drought.

Another shot of the reservoir capturing the fall colors on its rocky peninsulas and islands.

The St. Louis River carving its way to Lake Superior.

The spillway at the dam.
