Highlights of Minnesota's North Country
Northern Minnesota, a vast expanse of lakes, streams and woods that stretches along the Canadian border, offers a quiet respite from urban life.
Mesabi Trail
A rail-trail conversion through the Iron Range mountains, the paved Mesabi Trail starts at Grand Rapids and runs toward Ely through communities such as Keewatin, Hibbing, Chisholm, Mountain Iron and Virginia. When completed, it will connect more than 25 communities along 132 miles. It's designed for hiking and biking; some sections are open in the winter for snowmobiling. Check the website for the current status of trail construction and for a list of nearby activities (877/637-2241; mesabitrail.com/).
