Greetings from North Country National Scenic Trail

My family has adopted a section of the North Country National Scenic Trail within Itasca State Park in northern Minnesota. The closest National Park (Voyageurs) is 200+ miles away so we can’t get there too often…but we can get out onto the North Country NST every month of the year. Our young kids love going to “their trail” and helping out.

Sincerely,
Matthew Davis
