Caribou Rock Trail, Hungry Jack Lake Road, MN

This trail is off of the Gunflint Trail in Superior National Forest.  We headed out of our cabin and down the road to the trail head.  I starts with a climb.  When you get to the first lookout point you can see Hungry Jack Lake and it is big and beautiful.

As you walk further on the trail you have the choice to go left onto Moss Lake Trail or right on Caribou Trail.  Stay to the right.

There was this weird moss growing on a lot of the trees.  It was somewhere between really pretty and highly concerning.

The trail itself was a little thick.  It isn’t a road well traveled for sure, but there were some neat nature sights along the way.

This tree fell over during a storm and ripped its roots right out of the ground.

I saw a toad.

There were lots of pretty wild flowers.

This particular trail was pretty great.  There is a lot of up hill and you need to watch your footing.  It isn’t an easy trail for everyone, but it isn’t really dangerous either.  Most of the best parts are at the beginning although we didn’t do the whole trail.  It is pretty far to the next trail and then you still need to get back.

Basically, if you want a one day trip go as far as you want and then turn around.  We enjoyed Caribou Rock Trail.
