We
spent the week of June 15th vacationing in Ely, MN. Ely
is approximately 270 miles north of the Twin Cities, on the edge of the
world famous
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). The BWCAW is more than one
million acres of wilderness and waterways
located in the heart of Superior National Forest. Located along the
Canadian border, the BWCAW is the largest wilderness preserve east of the
Rocky Mountains.
The
Ely area is blessed with access to more than 5,000 lakes, streams and rivers
in northeastern Minnesota.
Ely is also home to the International Wolf Center, North American Bear
Center, Soudan Underground Mine and the Dorothy Molter Museum (the “root
beer lady”).
The
air is clear, the water pure, the woods are inspiring, the sights
breathtaking, and the night sky is bright with millions of stars.
And, the dogs loved the swimming!!!
If you
are in the neighborhood, we highly recommend lunch at the Chocolate Moose,
great sandwiches and desserts (try one the pies)!
