We decided to take the opportunity to go on a hike this weekend, which is the first weekend in a long time that we didn't have other plans- and Nick wasn't working. We packed a light lunch and took off for the north shore with Copper eagerly wagging his tail in anticipation of a great hike.
Hiking along the shore is beautiful, with some fall colors coming out due to the extreme lack of rain we have had. The twin lake trail which we hiked is a spur of the Superior Hiking Trail that extends from Duluth to the Canadian border, or close to it. Though long, the elevation changes are not as great compared to the trails in the West.
It was about 60 degrees and overcast, but overall a perfect day for hiking.
We had a great day - hiked about 9 miles, Copper was running the entire time. He was very tired, and could hardly keep his eyes open on the way home.

We let Copper off of his leash for the first time - he did very well! He would run ahead of us, stop and turn with one paw up, and look at us impatiently.
