Have you seen moose or moose sign while on the NCT?

Moose in northern Minnesota remain stable. Their numbers have risen slightly, according to a recent DNR survey.

New snow and cold temps didn't stop 15 hearty folks ranging in ages from 4 months to 65+ from getting out to enjoy the 2-mile segment of NCT trail on the northeast end of Grand Rapids, MN up through the U of M's property to 27th Ave NE! Half of the group hiked 4-miles round trip, and half did a one-way. Thanks to everyone for coming out and hope to see you at next month's event!

Wonderfully beautiful day for a walk in the woods with Renee and Matt, two new friends, for the Arrowhead's scheduled group hike! While our group was small, we were mighty, and enjoyed the beauty of the new segment north of Remer. Next we look forward to the March group hike, which can be found on our Events page! 😄
