Lake Superior Ice Caves...

What a great day for a hike!  Today I visited the ice caves located on the South Shore of Lake Superior.  It's a good 8 mile hike to complete the trek, but very well worth the effort.  I hope you enjoy!

Around 40 Degrees F, this is the first ice cave

Fantastically beautiful

One of the more impressive caverns...
Tunnels, frozen slides and colors of various minerals...

Isn't this fantastic?

Along the shoreline.  The Department of Natural Resources Ranger said over a thousand folks made the trek onto the ice today...
Tannins from creek water create the tan colored ice, pure spring water the blue...

What a great day for a hike!

This would be a really beautiful stretch of shoreline to canoe this summer.
Another archway....

Sort of gives you a sense of the size of this cave opening...

That's all for this year's ice cave trek!
Hope you all enjoyed the pics, I had a great time taking them.  Miss you and love you Johanna and Nick!
