Taylors Falls-Interstate Park

On Aug. 9th we traveled home from an overnight stay in Duluth. My Brother Paul, Gabe and I stopped at Taylor's Falls to do some hiking and climbing. It was raining in the AM so we went to the interpretive center to absorb some of the history of the park. In the afternoon, the weather broke and gave us a 3 hour window to do some climbing. Paul wanted to do some rappels because the North Shore (where we had just came from) can be somewhat intimidating to a new climber. We climbed on the Wisconsin side and then we traveled to River Falls where we spent a night in the Kinni Creek Lodge. The lodge turned out to be a great place to stay and I wish we had more time to explore Kinni Creek for fishing and kayaking.
