Itasca State Park - Wilderness Drive

 Itasca State Park isn't just known for the headwaters of the Mississippi, but it was the home of Minnesota's two largest trees. The trees are now dead, and all that's left is the trunks. There are many points of interest on this 10-mile drive through the Park. These are just some that I stopped and took a short hike to see.


Formally the state's largest Red Pine.



Formally the state's largest White Pine.





Gypsy climbed to the first platform and headed back down. Even if I didn't have Gypsy in tow, I could have never made it to the top.
