Karla and I spent a day up the Gunflint Trail where the birch and aspen were at their peak. We stopped at the pines in George Washington State Forest on our way up.

I took a drive to Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. Even though it was an overcast day the colors were still vibrant.

There were a few passing rain clouds in the two hours I was there but none produced the rainbow I was waiting for. I sure wasn’t complaining though with a view like this.
