Hiking Trip To Bean and Bear Lake
Lake Superior Hiking Trail, North of Silver Bay, Minnesota
June 19, 2004
Lorna and Sport, on the first overlook. Silver Bay can be seen in the left background.
Lorna and Sport. Sorry about the bad light metering on these shots.
Tony on the first overlook. The trail loop was 6.4 miles from Penn Blvd. north of Silver Bay. This was only 1.3 miles into it.
Penn Creek crossing. The Lake Superior Hiking Trail Association knows how to build really solid bridges.

The lake access at Bean Lake. It is a designated Trout Lake, stocked by the DNR.
Bean Lake, right after lunch.
Lorna and Tony at the Bean Lake overlook. The wind at the top took care of the mosquitoes.
The north-facing cliff behind is about 200+ sheer vertical feet, and exactly 307 feet total down to the lake. Bean Lake is at 1193 feet of elevation.
The vertical wall looks pretty sketchy for any rock climbing. Very loose and lichen-filled.
A nice "edge" view...
Way off to the horizon, at about 11 o'clock, is a gravel pit that is partially flooded. It looks like a salt flat.
Lorna and Sport. Lorna is the one on the right.
Another nice view of the edge at Bean Lake.
The scree rock next to the edge is scary enough to make you be pretty careful.

Note the rapid elevation lines near the lakes? Very nice!
