Description
Join us as we welcome the budding of spring during this afternoon hike along the North Country Trail. This strenuous hike is well worth the effort as we hike to a spectacular overlook on the Laurentian Divide (elevation 1,730 feet). Looking north-east, you will be viewing the Mississippi watershed basin at its beginnings around Itasca State Park. To the west is the Red River (of the North) watershed.Porti
