The Pigeon River: Winter in the High Falls Gorge


















This is the gorge in Grand Portage State Park, just a little ways downstream from High Falls, the tallest waterfall in Minnesota. I took a walk along the river yesterday and really enjoyed being able to walk right ON the river. The ice was thick enoughalong the edge of the bank that I did not have to worry about it breaking. There have been reports of a mink hanging out along this section of the river over the past month, and I've been heading up almost daily to hopefully get a glimpse of him (and possibly a photo!). After many attempts, I have yet to see the animal but I have seen plenty of its tracks. Maybe one of these days our paths will cross :-)
