Caribou Falls State Wayside

The family and I stopped at the Caribou Falls Wayside Rest and took a jaunt up the half mile trail there to see the falls. This is a rather easy hike. Very little elevation change and the trail might as well be paved. That doesnt mean there wasnt a wow factor waiting for us at the end.

The video runs a little long at 17 minutes but you'll have to forgive me as this doubles up as a home movie and my attempt to bring the entire experience (including the waterfall) home with me.

For those who are wondering I would have gladly carried my little girl however had I done so no one would have carried the camera and recorded any video. No video would have forced me to leave the entire experience there and left you without an opportunity to peak in on this.

If you'd like more info on waterfalls in the Lake Superior Area there is no better source than "Waterfalls of Minnesota's North Shore" by Eve and Gary Wallinga which currently has limited availability. I have a copy and its currently stored at an undisclosed location. Safe and ready for the next waterfall hike on the north shore.

DISCLAIMER:
This is not for the faint of heart. Patience is a must. This is not a 25 second video clip. Nor is it filled with silly stunts or acrobatics. Instead think Sunrise Earth or Lawrence of Arabia panoramic shots.

A half mile hike on the Superior Hiking Trail takes you to the amazing Caribou Falls on the Caribou River, seen here in 2012 at high water compared to our visit a year prior.
