Gooseberry Falls State Park, MN
We took a short trip up to Gooseberry Falls while visiting Rik, Karen, and Alex over Christmas. Sara and I braved the icy steps down to the lower falls, while Rik, Karen, and Alex toddled over to the upper falls (where we caught up to them). There was some snow but it was icy! We saw ice climbers who were climbing up the waterfalls. The highlight for Alex was exploring a little cave in the basalt.
Distance: A short mile?
Vertical Gain: 50' of icy steps
Weather: Overcast, low 30s.
Dog Rating: Stuck in Seattle.
