A Traveler's Tale

tenzin visited Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway (MN) on September 21, 2012:

Magnetic rock was a great hike. It can be tough for little ones but there are plenty of places to rest. When you get to the rock it is amazing. There are plenty of scenic views to snap a lot of pictures along the way. The trail is well marked and visible in most places but where it was not we just looked for the stacked rocks to guide us on our way. It was pretty windy and rainy when we went. Still had lots of fun.
