Fall’s Final Stand
Today the ol’ west wind has been blowing the golden aspen leaves past the Chik-Wauk windows. It’s been a beautiful autumn.
In the shady areas you can still find clumps of asters and pearly everlasting.
We’ve passed the autumn equinox and the nights are growing longer while the days grow shorter. The golden and red leaves filter the evening and morning sunlight.
The moose maple has turned crimson.
While fall seems to be making its last stand in the Gunflint Trail forest, Chik-Wauk’s still open until October 17th. Come see it as we make the graceful transition from autumn to winter.
