As you’ve no doubt heard by now, winter came very early to the Gunflint Trail this year. Our last canoe group got off the water less than a week before our first snowstorm of the year and that first snowfall didn’t go anywhere; we’ve had continuous snow cover on the Gunflint Trail since October 26. That means we’re already in our second month of producing weekly winter weather updates.

Here’s this week’s edition:

You can view the rest of our winter report for the season on the winter report page or subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Now that it’s officially December, we figured you might be joining us in our winter-y, holiday-focused state of mind. In that vein, we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that the Gift Shop Mini-Mart is open for business, offering a variety of Tuscarora/Boundary Waters themed stocking stuffers and apparel.

If you or a loved one has some camping equipment on your Christmas lists, we also have a handful of #3 Quetico Superior portage packs left (these sold really quickly, so buy now if you want to snag a couple) and are also selling off our older ALPS Mountaineering 20 degree sleeping bags on the bottom of our used canoes page. 

Here’s to a month of days that are merry and bright!
