After our hike of the Secret/Blackstone Trails, we still wanted a little bit more adventure. We decided to hike the short trail to Kawishiwi Falls on the way back to Ely. The hike started off near a large boulder at the parking lot. Sierra decided that she just had to climb it.
Then we headed further into the woods on a well-worn path.
There were some interesting trees along the way. One was like a fortress of roots,
while another seemed to grow right on top of a rock.
We traversed a section of boardwalk,
and shortly thereafter we could hear the rushing water of the falls.
We posed for a few photos
and enjoyed the scene from a bench, before passing a portage
for the return hike to the car. After dinner in Ely, we made the drive back to International Falls.
