On Saturday, about 20 people gathered in 39* temps just outside of Two Harbors, MN, for an organized
Superior Hiking Trail snowshoe hike. The great things about these organized hikes are you can hike alone or with part of the group, and everyone has transportation from one end of the trail segment to the other. It is a good way to hike segments that would otherwise be avoided because of transportation logistics.
This is a new segment of trail, just put in in the last year or so. We met at Co Rd 301 just outside of Two Harbors, shuttled up to Gun Club Road, and hiked back. It was a very enjoyable 3.4 miles. The snow remained mostly firm except at the beginning and the end where it was more exposed to the sun.
I would like to get back and hike this one in the summer - the trail follows Silver Creek for most of the length and it would make a great quick summer get away.
