Kawishiwi Falls 001

It was the last week of our granddaughter’s visit so we went camping at Fall Lake Campground in Ely and did some kayaking adjacent to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The first day was rainy so we hiked to the Kawishiwi Falls located between Garden and Fall Lakes. The waterfalls were roaring due to the heavy rains.

To get a perspective on the size of the falls, notice the people on the left of the falls.

Kayaking 001

The next morning we kayaked into one of the several beautiful lakes in the area. We found six beaver houses. This beaver house was the by far the largest. I always enjoy looking at beaver houses and thinking about all the work they put into them.

This huge rock is in the middle of the bay. Addie wanted to climb it.

All five wolves came out of the woods and let us watch them for some time. All in all Addie had a great time.
