Two Harbors Weekend

We have been busy this summer, very busy.  Between Kyleen’s Triathlons and my gravel/ MTB rides we have not had much time to just enjoy our camper that we bought last fall.  We have used it, but it has always been for a race.  So we had a free weekend and we thought we would head up to Two Harbors for a nice get away.

We headed up Friday night after work and we stayed at the Burlington Bay Campground.  This is the city of Two Harbors campground, but it is very nice and they just opened up a new section.

Home Sweet Home for the weekend.

Our view of the lake at Sunrise.

Saturday morning we headed up to Gooseberry State Park for some hiking, but it was packed with people.  So we headed north a bit more and went to Split Rock State Park.  I have toured the lighthouse and grounds when I was younger but I have never hiked on the trails.  We headed out on Little Two Harbor trail.  The trail had great views of the lake and light house.  We even found an access to the beach that was quite nice.  After we wore Kinley out we headed back to the camper for some lunch.

The stairs on the trail, there were a lot of stairs!

After lunch we decided to head back to Gooseberry.  We parked at the park and then headed out on our bikes.  There is a great trail that runs along hwy 61.  The trail currently goes from Gooseberry to Beaver Bay.  It’s a great ride.

After the ride we made some dinner and enjoyed a couple slices of pie that we picked up at Betty’s Pies.  Wow that was a nice treat!  

We headed home Sunday morning, nothing exciting on the way home, just the way that I like it!
